Little is known about how mitochondrial lipids reach inner membrane–localized metabolic enzymes for phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis. Aaltonen et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201602007) and Miyata et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201601082) now report roles for two mitochondrial complexes, Ups2–Mdm35 and mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system, in the biosynthesis and transport of mitochondrial lipids.

Interaction between PI3K and the VDAC2 channel tethers Ras-PI3K-positive endosomes to mitochondria and promotes endosome maturation.

Iron and mitochondria in the susceptibility, pathogenesis and progression of COPD.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the dysfunction of mitochondria and cellular iron metabolism in the lung may unveil potential novel investigational avenues and therapeutic targets to aid in the treatment of COPD.

Sex-Specific Patterns of Diaphragm Phospholipid Content and Remodeling during Aging and in a Model of SELENON-Related Myopathy

The diaphragm PL map is established and an important PL remodeling pattern depending on sex, aging and partly on genotype is highlighted, which may contribute to the identification of biomarkers associated with muscular diseases and muscle aging.

Targeting Mitochondrial Dynamics Proteins for the Development of Therapies for Cardiovascular Diseases

Changes for each process of mitochondrial dynamics in cardiovascular diseases are considered: fission and fusion of mitochondria, mitophagy, mitochondrial transport and biogenesis, and the prospects of the considered protein targets based on existing drug developments are analyzed.

Mitochondrial proteotoxicity: implications and ubiquitin-dependent quality control mechanisms

This work provides a concise review of mechanisms by which disease-linked aberrant proteins affect mitochondrial function and an overview of mitochondrial quality control pathways that counteract mitochondrial proteotoxicity, focusing on mitochondria quality control mechanisms relying on the Ub-mediated protein degradation.

Mitochondrial Membrane Remodeling

This review focuses on the current understanding of the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial membrane architectural organization and factors critical for mitochondrial morphogenesis, as well as their functional link to human diseases.

Exploratory Data Analysis of Cell and Mitochondrial High-Fat, High-Sugar Toxicity on Human HepG2 Cells

Investigation of time-dependent cellular and mitochondrial effects of different supra-physiological fatty acids (FA) overload strategies, in the presence or absence of fructose, on human hepatoma-derived HepG2 cells found a feasible model to predict cell death in NAFLD or for high throughput screening of possible therapeutic agents, with particular focus in measuring mitochondrial function.

MICOS and the mitochondrial inner membrane morphology – when things get out of shape

Emerging evidence of a direct relationship between protein‐ and lipid‐dependent regulation of the inner mitochondrial membrane morphology and diseases such as fatal encephalopathy, Leigh syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and cancer is discussed.

Interaction Between Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase and the VDAC2 Channel Tethers Endosomes to Mitochondria and Promotes Endosome Maturation

VDAC2 was found to tether endosomes positive for the Ras-PI3K complex to mitochondria in response to cell stimulation with epidermal growth factor and to promote clathrin-independent endocytosis as well as endosome maturation at membrane contact sites.

Phosphatidylserine transport by Ups2–Mdm35 in respiration-active mitochondria

It is demonstrated that Ups2–Mdm35, a protein complex in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, mediates phosphatidylserine transport for phosph atidylethanolamine synthesis in respiration-active mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The genetic interactome of prohibitins: coordinated control of cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine by conserved regulators in mitochondria

Lipid profiling by mass spectrometry of GEP-deficient mitochondria reveals a critical role of cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine for survival of prohibitin- deficient cells and proposes that prohibitins control inner membrane organization and integrity by acting as protein and lipid scaffolds.

Ups1p and Ups2p antagonistically regulate cardiolipin metabolism in mitochondria

This study reports that two homologous intermembrane space proteins, Ups1p and Ups2p, control cardiolipin metabolism and affect the assembly state of TIM23 and its association with PAM in an opposing manner, providing a novel molecular mechanism for the regulation of cardiolIPin metabolism.

PI4P/phosphatidylserine countertransport at ORP5- and ORP8-mediated ER–plasma membrane contacts

Two similar ER integral membrane proteins, oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)–related protein 5 (ORP5) and ORP8, tethered the ER to the plasma membrane (PM) via the interaction of their pleckstrin homology domains with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in this membrane.

Disruption of the Phosphatidylserine Decarboxylase Gene in Mice Causes Embryonic Lethality and Mitochondrial Defects*

It is concluded that the CDP-ethanolamine pathway in mice cannot substitute for a lack of PS decarboxylase during development, and elimination of PE production in mitochondria causes fragmented, misshapen mitochondria, an abnormality that likely contributes to the embryonic lethality.

Phosphatidylserine transport by ORP/Osh proteins is driven by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate

Here, it is found that the PS transporter Osh6p extracted phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and exchanged PS for PI4P between two membranes and demonstrated that the transport of PS by Osh 6p depends on PI4p recognition in vivo.

Intramitochondrial Transport of Phosphatidic Acid in Yeast by a Lipid Transfer Protein

Intramitochondrial lipid trafficking may involve a regulatory feedback mechanism that limits the accumulation of cardiolipin in mitochondria and is identified as a lipid transfer protein that can shuttle phosphatidic acid between mitochondrial membranes.

Phospholipid Synthesis and Transport in Mammalian Cells

Membranes of mammalian subcellular organelles contain defined amounts of specific phospholipids that are required for normal functioning of proteins in the membrane. Despite the wide distribution of…
