Structural comparison of yeast and human intra-mitochondrial lipid transport systems

Xeni Miliara et al. Biochem Soc Trans. .

Abstract

Mitochondria depend on a tightly regulated supply of phospholipids. The protein of relevant evolutionary and lymphoid interest (PRELI)/Ups1 family together with its mitochondrial chaperones [TP53-regulated inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1)/Mdm35] represents a unique heterodimeric lipid-transfer system that is evolutionary conserved from yeast to man. Recent X-ray crystal structures of the human and yeast systems are compared and discuss here and shed new insight into the mechanism of the PRELI/Ups1 system.

Keywords: PRELI; TRIAP1; Ups1; membranes; mitochondria; phospholipid transport.
