Abstract

Mitochondrial protein phosphorylation is emerging as a central event in mitochondrial signaling. In particular, tyrosine phosphorylation is proving to be an unappreciated mechanism involved in regulation of mitochondrial functions. Tyrosine kinases and phosphatases have been identified in mitochondrial compartments and there is a steadily increasing number of new identified tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins implicated in a wide spectrum of mitochondrial functions. The deciphering of the tyrosine phosphorylation signaling in mitochondria is strictly linked to the definition of the entire mitochondrial tyrosine phosphoproteome. This chapter describes methods to analyze tyrosine phosphorylation in brain mitochondria: identification of new substrates by biochemical and mass spectrometry approaches and bioinformatic tools to analyze the potential effect of tyrosine phosphorylation on the structure/activity of a protein.
