This study shows that mammalian cells can rescue mitochondrial protein import failure by transferring healthy mitochondria between cells via tunneling nanotubes.

This paper develops a NanoLuc assay system to monitor mitochondrial protein import in live mammalian cells, enabling kinetic analysis and mechanistic insights into the process.

This study uses a split NanoLuc luciferase assay to analyze the kinetics of mitochondrial protein import through the TIM23MOTOR complex, identifying rate-limiting steps and their dependence on precursor properties.

This paper introduces a high-resolution luminescent assay for rapid and continuous monitoring of protein translocation, demonstrating its application in bacterial and mitochondrial systems.
