GO:0006626 protein targeting to mitochondrion The process of directing proteins towards and into the mitochondrion, usually mediated by mitochondrial proteins that recognize signals contained within the imported protein. 32
GO:0008637 apoptotic mitochondrial changes The morphological and physiological alterations undergone by mitochondria during apoptosis. 20
GO:0048312 intracellular distribution of mitochondria Any process that establishes the spatial arrangement of mitochondria within the cell. 17
GO:0000001 mitochondrion inheritance The distribution of mitochondria, including the mitochondrial genome, into daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis, mediated by interactions between mitochondria and the cytoskeleton. 12
GO:0000002 mitochondrial genome maintenance The maintenance of the structure and integrity of the mitochondrial genome; includes replication and segregation of the mitochondrial chromosome. 11
GO:0045040 protein import into mitochondrial outer membrane The process comprising the insertion of proteins from outside the organelle into the mitochondrial outer membrane, mediated by large outer membrane translocase complexes. 10
GO:0046902 regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the passage or uptake of molecules by the mitochondrial membrane. 10
GO:0032543 mitochondrial translation The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a protein in a mitochondrion. This is a ribosome-mediated process in which the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein; the mitochondrion has its own ribosomes and transfer RNAs, and uses a genetic code that differs from the nuclear code. 9
GO:0070584 mitochondrion morphogenesis The process in which the anatomical structures of a mitochondrion are generated and organized. 9
GO:0001836 release of cytochrome c from mitochondria The process that results in the movement of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space into the cytosol, which is part of the apoptotic signaling pathway and leads to caspase activation. 6
GO:0048311 mitochondrion distribution Any process that establishes the spatial arrangement of mitochondria between and within cells. 6
GO:0070125 mitochondrial translational elongation The successive addition of amino acid residues to a nascent polypeptide chain during protein biosynthesis in a mitochondrion. 6
GO:0032981 mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. 6
GO:0000266 mitochondrial fission The division of a mitochondrion within a cell to form two or more separate mitochondrial compartments. 5
GO:0030150 protein import into mitochondrial matrix The import of proteins across the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes into the matrix. Unfolded proteins enter the mitochondrial matrix with a chaperone protein; the information required to target the precursor protein from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix is contained within its N-terminal matrix-targeting sequence. Translocation of precursors to the matrix occurs at the rare sites where the outer and inner membranes are close together. 4
GO:0034551 mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form the cytochrome bc(1) complex (also known as ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase), in the mitochondrial inner membrane. 4
GO:0070127 tRNA aminoacylation for mitochondrial protein translation The synthesis of aminoacyl tRNA by the formation of an ester bond between the 3'-hydroxyl group of the most 3' adenosine of the tRNA, to be used in ribosome-mediated polypeptide synthesis in a mitochondrion. 3
GO:0006627 protein processing involved in protein targeting to mitochondrion The cleavage of peptide bonds in proteins, usually near the N terminus, contributing to the process of import into the mitochondrion. Several different peptidases mediate cleavage of proteins destined for different mitochondrial compartments. 3
GO:0006264 mitochondrial DNA replication The process in which new strands of DNA are synthesized in the mitochondrion. 3
GO:0045041 protein import into mitochondrial intermembrane space The import of proteins into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. 3
GO:0008053 mitochondrial fusion Merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. 3
GO:0042407 cristae formation The assembly of cristae, the inwards folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane. 2
GO:0043653 mitochondrial fragmentation involved in apoptotic process The change in the morphology of the mitochondria in an apoptotic cell from a highly branched network to a fragmented vesicular form. 2
GO:1990046 stress-induced mitochondrial fusion Merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment, as a result of a disturbance in cellular homeostasis. 2
GO:0007007 inner mitochondrial membrane organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the mitochondrial inner membrane. 2
GO:0045039 protein import into mitochondrial inner membrane The process comprising the import of proteins into the mitochondrion from outside the organelle and their insertion into the mitochondrial inner membrane. The translocase of the outer membrane complex mediates the passage of these proteins across the outer membrane, after which they are guided by either of two inner membrane translocase complexes into their final destination in the inner membrane. 2
GO:0070903 mitochondrial tRNA thio-modification The addition a sulfur atom to a nucleotide in a mitochondrial tRNA molecule. 2
GO:0070159 mitochondrial threonyl-tRNA aminoacylation The process of coupling threonine to threonyl-tRNA in a mitochondrion, catalyzed by threonyl-tRNA synthetase. In tRNA aminoacylation, the amino acid is first activated by linkage to AMP and then transferred to either the 2'- or the 3'-hydroxyl group of the 3'-adenosine residue of the tRNA. 2
GO:0033955 mitochondrial DNA inheritance The process in which copies of the mitochondrial genome are distributed into daughter mitochondria upon mitochondrial fission. 1
GO:0033108 mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a mitochondrial respiratory chain complex. 1
GO:0000963 mitochondrial RNA processing The conversion of a primary RNA molecule transcribed from a mitochondrial genome into one or more mature RNA molecules; occurs in the mitochondrion. 1
GO:0007006 mitochondrial membrane organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a mitochondrial membrane, either of the lipid bilayer surrounding a mitochondrion. 1

GO:0090149 membrane fission involved in mitochondrial fission A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the separation of a single continuous mitochondrial membrane into two membranes and contributes to mitochondrial fission. 1
