An image-based map of the human mitochondrial proteome and its heterogeneity

• Mitochondria is involved in a numerous variety of cellular functions beyond its role in energy metabolism. Defining the human mitochondrial proteome is crucial to understand the mitochondria’s diverse functions and role in disease. Here, we present an image-based map of the human mitochondrial proteome containing 1,098 proteins. The single cell resolution revealed extensive heterogeneity for as much as 20% (n=226) of the mitochondrial proteome.  These variations are independent of cell cycle position and likely represent metabolic fluctuations in the cell. Our analysis shows that 48% (n=524) of the proteins localize to additional cellular compartments, further contributing to the diverse cellular functions of mitochondria. This map of the mitochondrial proteome, part of the Cell Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas database (www.proteinatlas.org), provides a valuable knowledge resource for studies of mitochondria function, dysfunction and disease.
