Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information in heart mitochondria, lon expression increases with age, its ATP-stimulated activity remains the same in young and old cells Rattus norvegicus

Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine lon and aconitase may be key players in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis under conditions of stress, partial compromise of their function may contribute to both aging and degenerative diseases Homo sapiens
medicine lon downregulation may contribute to the aging process Mus musculus
medicine lon downregulation may contribute to the aging process Rattus norvegicus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
ATP inhibits DNA binding by lon Homo sapiens
additional information lon protease expression and activity declines with age Homo sapiens
additional information Lon protease expression and activity declines with age, steady-state levels of lon mRNA are ca. 4fold lower in 30-month-old mice than in young mice. 5fold decrease in protein levels and activity in old mice compared to young mice Mus musculus
additional information total activity of lon decreases about 2.5fold in old liver, protein level does not change in old compared to young liver Rattus norvegicus
