“…In general terms, both proteins (APP and Aβ) present in the mitochondria trigger mitochondrial dysfunction through a series of pathways, such as by interacting with components of the protein import machinery (translocase of the outer membrane-translocase of the inner membrane (TOM-TIM)) [24,134,159], and blocking the mitochondrial translocation of nuclear-encoded proteins [45,[159][160][161][162], like ETC components [93,134,[161][162][163], thus compromising mitochondrial functionality. However, they are also capable of disrupting mitochondrial function in other ways, e.g., directly influencing the activities of ETC complexes, such as cytochrome c oxidase (COX) [134,[164][165][166], complex I [134,140,148], or the F1α subunit of ATP synthase [5,119], thus compromising mitochondrial respiratory function and ATP production [41,54,57,67].…”
