Cardiolipin (CL) is a major membrane phospholipid specifically localized in mitochondria. At the cellular level, CL has been shown to have a role in mitochondrial energy production, mitochondrial membrane dynamics, and the triggering of apoptosis. However, the in vivo role of CL in multicellular organisms is largely unknown. In this study, by analyzing deletion mutants of a CL synthase gene (crls-1) in Caenorhabditis elegans, we demonstrated that CL depletion selectively caused abnormal mitochondrial function and morphology in germ cells but not in somatic cell types such as muscle cells. crls-1 mutants reached adulthood but were sterile with reduced germ cell proliferation and impaired oogenesis. In the gonad of crls-1 mutants, mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased, and the structure of the mitochondrial cristae was disrupted. Contrary to the abnormalities in the gonad, somatic tissues in crls-1 mutants appeared normal with respect to cell proliferation, mitochondrial function, and mitochondrial morphology. Increased susceptibility to CL depletion in germ cells was also observed in mutants of phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase, an enzyme responsible for producing phosphatidylglycerol, a precursor phospholipid of CL. We propose that the contribution of CL to mitochondrial function and morphology is different among the cell types in C. elegans. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondria-specific phospholipid and is critical for maintaining the integrity of mitochondrial membrane and mitochondrial function. CL also plays an active role in mitochondria-dependent apoptosis by interacting with cytochrome c (cyt c), tBid and other important Bcl-2 proteins. The unique structure of CL with four linoleic acid side chains in the same molecule and its cellular location make it extremely susceptible to free radical oxidation by reactive oxygen species including free radicals derived from peroxidase activity of cyt c/CL complex, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical. The free radical oxidation products of CL have been emerged as important mediators in apoptosis. In this review, we summarize the free radical chemical mechanisms that lead to CL oxidation, recent development in detection of oxidation products of CL by mass spectrometry and the implication of CL oxidation in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and human diseases. 相似文献

Cardiolipin and apoptosis 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Cardiolipin (CL) is recognized to be an essential phospholipid in eukaryotic energy metabolism so that physiological and pathological perturbations in its synthetic and catabolic pathways play key roles in maintaining mitochondrial structure and function, and ultimately cell survival. This review describes potential regulatory mechanisms in CL synthesis and the effects of de-acylation pathways on steady state levels of CL and its interaction with cytochrome c. The latter interaction is significant in the initiation of programmed cell death. Physiological factors that modify CL acylation include ageing, dietary influences and ischemia/reperfusion where the terminal events may be either necrosis or apoptosis. In various pathologies, phospholipase activity increases in response to production of peroxidized CL. The cell may use lysosomal or mitochondrial pathways for CL degradation. However, the manner by which CL and cytochrome c leave the mitochondria is not well understood. The lipid (CL)-bound form of cytochrome c is thought to initiate apoptosis via a lipid transfer step involving mitochondrially targeted Bid. A direct relationship between CL loss and cytochrome c release from the mitochondria has been identified as an initial step in the pathway to apoptosis. An absolute requirement for CL in the function of crucial mitochondrial proteins, e.g., cytochrome oxidase and the adenine nucleotide translocase, are likely additional factors impacting apoptosis and cellular energy homeostasis. This is reflected in the occurrence of both oncotic and apoptotic events in ischemia and reperfusion injury. Other potential clinical manifestations of perturbations of CL synthesis are discussed with particular emphasis on Barth Syndrome where a primary defect can be attributed to CL metabolism and is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. Finally, the model of fatty acid induced apoptosis is used as a paradigm to our understanding of the temporal relationship between decreased mitochondrial CL, release of cytochrome c, and initiation of apoptosis. 相似文献

Phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLS3) is a newly recognized member of a family of proteins responsible for phospholipid translocation between two lipid compartments. To study PLS3 function in mitochondria, we disrupted its conserved calcium-binding motif yielding an inactive mutant PLS3(F258V). Cells transfected with PLS3(F258V) exhibited reduced proliferative capacity. Mitochondrial analysis revealed that PLS3(F258V)-expressing cells have decreased mitochondrial mass shown by lower cytochrome c and cardiolipin (CL) content, poor mitochondrial respiration, and reduced oxygen consumption and intracellular ATP; whereas wild-type PLS3-transfected cells exhibit increased mitochondrial mass and enhanced respiration. Electron microscopic examination revealed that the mitochondria in PLS3(F258V)-expressing cells have densely packed cristae and are fewer in number and larger than those in control cells. The abnormal mitochondrial metabolism and structure in PLS3(F258V)-expressing cells were associated with decreased sensitivity to UV- and tBid-induced apoptosis and diminished translocation of CL to the mitochondrial outer membrane. In contrast, wild-type PLS3-transfected cells displayed increased sensitivity to apoptosis and enhanced CL translocation. These studies identify PLS3 as a critical regulator of mitochondrial structure and respiration, and CL transport in apoptosis. 相似文献

The ability of phospholipids to act as determinants of membrane protein structure and function is probably best exemplified by cardiolipin (CL), the signature phospholipid of mitochondria. Early efforts to reconstitute individual respiratory complexes and members of the mitochondrial carrier family, most notably the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), often demonstrated the importance of CL. Over the past decade, the significance of CL in the organization of components of the electron transport chain into higher order assemblies, termed respiratory supercomplexes, has been established. Another protein required for oxidative phosphorylation, AAC, has received comparatively little attention likely stemming from the fact that AACs were thought to function in isolation as either homodimers or monomers. Recently however, AACs have been demonstrated to interact with the respiratory supercomplex, other members of the mitochondrial carrier family, and the TIM23 translocon. Interestingly, many if not all of these interactions depend on CL. As the paradigm for the mitochondrial carrier family, these discoveries with AAC suggest that other members of this large group of important proteins may be more gregarious than anticipated. Moreover, it is proposed that AAC and perhaps additional members of the mitochondrial carrier family might represent downstream targets of pathological states involving alterations in CL. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is a unique dimeric phospholipid that exists almost exclusively in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) in eukaryotic cells. Two chiral carbons and four fatty acyl chains in CL result in a flexible body allowing interactions with respiratory chain complexes and mitochondrial substrate carriers. Due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, CL is particularly prone to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative attacks. Under mild mitochondrial damage, CL is redistributed to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and serves as a recognition signal for dysfunctional mitochondria, which are rapidly sequestered by autophagosomes. However, peroxidation of CL is far greater in response to severe stress than under normal or mild-damage conditions. The accumulation of oxidized CL on the OMM results in recruitment of Bax and formation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), which releases Cytochrome c (Cyt c) from mitochondria. Over the past decade, the significance of CL in the function of mitochondrial bioenergy has been explored. Moreover, approaches to analyzing CL have become more effective and accurate. In this review, we discuss the unique structural features of CL as well as the current understanding of CL-based molecular mechanisms of mitophagy and apoptosis. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is a structurally unique dimeric phospholipid localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is required for optimal mitochondrial function. In addition to its role in maintaining membrane potential and architecture, CL is known to provide essential structural and functional support to several proteins involved in mitochondrial bioenergetics. A loss of CL content, alterations in its acyl chain composition, and/or CL peroxidation have been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple tissues in a variety of pathological conditions, including ischemia, hypothyroidism, aging, and heart failure. Recently, aberrations in CL metabolism have been implicated as a primary causative factor in the cardioskeletal myopathy known as Barth syndrome, underscoring an important role of CL in human health and disease. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of evidence that has linked changes in the CL profile to mitochondrial dysfunction in various pathological conditions. In addition, a brief overview of CL function and biosynthesis, and a discussion of methods used to examine CL in biological tissues are provided. phospholipid; metabolism; heart failure; aging; hypothyroidism; lipid peroxidation; oxidative stress; diet; ischemia 相似文献

Recent studies have revealed an array of novel regulatory mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL), the signature lipid of mitochondria. CL plays an important role in cellular and mitochondrial function due in part to its association with a large number of mitochondrial proteins, including many which are unable to function optimally in the absence of CL. New insights into the complexity of regulation of CL provide further evidence of its importance in mitochondrial and cellular function. The biosynthesis of CL in yeast occurs via three enzymatic steps localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Regulation of this process by general phospholipid cross-pathway control and factors affecting mitochondrial development has been previously established. In this review, novel regulatory mechanisms that control CL biosynthesis are discussed. A unique form of inositol-mediated regulation has been identified in the CL biosynthetic pathway, independent of the INO2-INO4-OPI1 regulatory circuit that controls general phospholipid biosynthesis. Inositol leads to decreased activity of phosphatidylglycerolphosphate (PGP) synthase, which catalyzes the committed step of CL synthesis. Reduced enzymatic activity does not result from alteration of expression of the structural gene, but is instead due to increased phosphorylation of the enzyme. This is the first demonstration of phosphorylation in response to inositol and may have significant implications in understanding the role of inositol in other cellular regulatory pathways. Additionally, synthesis of CL has been shown to be dependent on mitochondrial pH, coordinately controlled with synthesis of mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and may be regulated by mitochondrial DNA absence sensitive factor (MIDAS). Further characterization of these regulatory mechanisms holds great potential for the identification of novel functions of CL in mitochondrial and cellular processes. 相似文献

Members of the mitochondrial carrier family interact with cardiolipin (CL) as evident from a variety of functional and structural effects. CL stabilises carrier proteins on isolation with detergents, with the Pi carrier as the prime example. CL is required for transport in reconstituted vesicles, prime examples are the Pi- and ADP/ATP carrier (AAC). CL binds to the AAC in a graded manner; 6 CL/AAC dimer bind tightly as measured on the 31P NMR time scale. 2 additional CL/dimer bind reversibly and a fast exchanging envelope of phospholipids includes CL as measured on the ESR time scale. In the crystal structure of the CAT-AAC complex 3 CL bind to the periphery of the AAC in a three-fold pseudo-symmetry. The binding of CL is implicated to contribute lowering the high transition energy barriers in the AAC. Para-functions of the AAC, as in the mitochondrial pore transition (MPT) and in cell death are linked to the CL binding of the AAC. Ca++ or oxidants can sequester or destroy AAC bound CL, rendering AAC labile, allowing pore formation and degradation. Thus AAC, by being vital for energy transfer, constitutes an Achilles heel in the eukaryotic cell. AAC together with CL is also engaged in respiratory supercomplexes. Different from AAC the similarly structured uncoupling protein (UCP1) has no tightly bound CL, but CL addition lowers affinity of the inhibitory nucleotide binding that may contribute to the physiological regulation of the uncoupling activity by ATP. 相似文献

Release of cytochrome c, a decrease of membrane potential (Deltapsi(m)), and a reduction of cardiolipin (CL) of rat brain mitochondria occurred upon incubation in the absence of respiratory substrates. Since CL is critical for mitochondrial functioning, CL enrichment of mitochondria was achieved by fusion with CL liposomes. Fusion was triggered by potassium phosphate at concentrations producing mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening but not cytochrome c release, which was observed only at >10 mm. Cyclosporin A inhibited phosphate-induced CL fusion, whereas Pronase pretreatment of mitochondria abolished it, suggesting that mitochondrial permeability transition pore and protein(s) are involved in the fusion process. Phosphate-dependent fusion was enhanced in respiratory state 3 and influenced by phospholipid classes in the order CL > phosphatidylglycerol (PG) > phosphatidylserine. The probe 10-nonylacridine orange indicated that fused CL had migrated to the inner mitochondrial membrane. In state 3, CL enrichment of mitochondria resulted in a pH decrease in the intermembrane space. Cytofluorimetric analysis of mitochondria stained with 3,3'-diexyloxacarbocyanine iodide and 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzymidazolylcarbocyanine iodide showed Deltapsi(m) increase upon fusion with CL or PG. In contrast, phosphatidylserine fusion required Deltapsi(m) consumption, suggesting that Deltapsi(m) is the driving force in mitochondrial phospholipid importation. Moreover, enrichment with CL and PG brought the low energy mitochondrial population to high Deltapsi(m) values and prevented phosphate-dependent cytochrome c release. 相似文献

Cardiolipin: Setting the beat of apoptosis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Gonzalvez F Gottlieb E 《Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death》2007,12(5):877-885
Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondria-specific phospholipid which is known to be intimately linked with the mitochondrial bioenergetic
machinery. Accumulating evidence now suggests that this unique lipid also has active roles in several of the mitochondria-dependant
steps of apoptosis. CL is closely associated with cytochrome c at the outer leaflet of the mitochondrial inner membrane. This interaction makes the process of cytochrome c release from mitochondria more complex than previously assumed, requiring more than pore formation in the mitochondrial outer
membrane. While CL peroxidation could be crucial for enabling cytochrome c dissociation from the mitochondrial inner membrane, cytochrome c itself catalyzes CL peroxidation. Moreover, peroxy-CL directly activates the release of cytochrome c and other apoptogenic factors from the mitochondria. CL is also directly involved in mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization
by enabling docking and activation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. It appears therefore that CL has multiple roles in apoptosis
and that CL metabolism contributes to the complexity of the apoptotic process. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) has been shown to play a crucial role in regulating the function of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane. As the most abundant protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane, the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) has long been the model of choice to study CL-protein interactions, and specifically bound CLs have been identified in a variety of crystal structures of AAC. However, how CL binding affects the structural dynamics of AAC in atomic detail remains largely elusive. Here we compared all-atom molecular dynamics simulations on bovine AAC1 in lipid bilayers with and without CLs. Our results show that on the current microsecond simulation time scale: 1) CL binding does not significantly affect overall stability of the carrier or structural symmetry at the matrix-gate level; 2) pocket volumes of the carrier and interactions involved in the matrix-gate network become more heterogeneous in parallel simulations with membranes containing CLs; 3) CL binding consistently strengthens backbone hydrogen bonds within helix H2 near the matrix side; and 4) CLs play a consistent stabilizing role on the domain 1-2 interface through binding with the R30:R71:R151 stacking structure and fixing the M2 loop in a defined conformation. CL is necessary for the formation of this stacking structure, and this structure in turn forms a very stable CL binding site. Such a delicate equilibrium suggests the strictly conserved R30:R71:R151stacking structure of AACs could function as a switch under regulation of CLs. Taken together, these results shed new light on the CL-mediated modulation of AAC function. 相似文献

Cardiolipin is not required for Bax-mediated cytochrome c release from yeast mitochondria 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Cardiolipin (CL) is an inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipid that contributes to optimal mitochondrial function and is gaining widespread attention in studies of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Divergent hypotheses describing the role of CL in cytochrome c release and apoptosis have evolved. We addressed this controversy directly by comparing the spontaneous- and Bax-mediated cytochrome c release from mitochondria isolated from two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: one lacking CL-synthase and therefore CL (DeltaCRD1) and the other, its corresponding wild type (WT). We demonstrated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry that the main yeast CL species [(16:1)2(18:1)2] differs in fatty acid composition from mammalian CL [(18:2)4], and we verified the absence of the yeast CL species in the DeltaCRD1 strain. We also demonstrated that the mitochondrial association of Bax and the resulting cytochrome c release is not dependent on the CL content of the yeast mitochondrial membranes. Bax inserted equally into both WT and DeltaCRD1 mitochondrial membranes under conditions that lead to the release of cytochrome c from both strains of yeast mitochondria. Furthermore, using models of synthetic liposomes and isolated yeast mitochondria, we found that cytochrome c was bound more "loosely" to the CL-deficient systems compared with when CL is present. These data challenge recent studies implicating that CL is required for Bax-mediated pore formation leading to the release of proteins from the mitochondrial intermembrane space. In contrast, they support our recently proposed two-step mechanism of cytochrome c release, which suggests that CL is required for binding cytochrome c to the inner mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

PLS3 (phospholipid scramblase-3) is a new member of the family of phospholipid scramblases and transports CL (cardiolipin) from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane. In the present paper we examined whether changing the levels of functional PLS3 in HeLa cells altered de novo CL biosynthesis and its resynthesis. HeLa cells overexpressing PLS3 or expressing a disrupted PLS3 (F258V) or control were incubated with [1,3-3H]glycerol and radioactivity incorporated into CL was determined. CL biosynthesis from [1,3-3H]glycerol was increased 1.8-fold in PLS3 cells and 2.1-fold in F258V cells compared with control. This was due to a 64% (P<0.05) and 2.6-fold (P<0.05) elevation in CL synthase activity in PLS3 and F258V cells respectively, compared with control, and not due to changes in phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase activity. The increase in CL synthase activity in these cells was due to an increase in its mRNA expression. In contrast, resynthesis of CL from [1-14C]linoleic acid was reduced 52% (P<0.05) in PLS3 and 45% (P<0.05) in F258V cells compared with control and this was due to a reduction in mitochondrial monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase activity. Although protein levels of mitochondrial monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase were unaltered, activity and mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase was upregulated in PLS3 and F258V cells compared with controls. These data indicate that the CL resynthesis in HeLa cells is sensitive to the mitochondrial localization of CL and not the level of the reacylating enzymes. Alterations in functional PLS3 levels in PLS3 or F258V cells did not affect the mitochondrial decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine indicating that the biosynthetic changes to CL were specific for this mitochondrial phospholipid. We hypothesize that the cardiolipin resynthesis machinery in the cell 'senses' altered levels of CL on mitochondrial membranes and that de novo CL biosynthesis is up-regulated in HeLa cells as a compensatory mechanism in response to altered movement of mitochondrial CL. The results identify PLS3 as a novel regulator of CL de novo biosynthesis and its resynthesis. 相似文献

The two non-bilayer forming mitochondrial phospholipids cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) play crucial roles in maintaining mitochondrial morphology. We have shown previously that CL and PE have overlapping functions, and the loss of both is synthetically lethal. Because the lack of CL does not lead to defects in the mitochondrial network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we hypothesized that PE may compensate for CL in the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular morphology and fusion. To test this hypothesis, we constructed a conditional mutant crd1Δpsd1Δ containing null alleles of CRD1 (CL synthase) and PSD1 (mitochondrial phosphatidylserine decarboxylase), in which the wild type CRD1 gene is expressed on a plasmid under control of the TET(OFF) promoter. In the presence of tetracycline, the mutant exhibited highly fragmented mitochondria, loss of mitochondrial DNA, and reduced membrane potential, characteristic of fusion mutants. Deletion of DNM1, required for mitochondrial fission, restored the tubular mitochondrial morphology. Loss of CL and mitochondrial PE led to reduced levels of small and large isoforms of the fusion protein Mgm1p, possibly accounting for the fusion defect. Taken together, these data demonstrate for the first time in vivo that CL and mitochondrial PE are required to maintain tubular mitochondrial morphology and have overlapping functions in mitochondrial fusion. 相似文献

Alteration in mitochondrial fusion may regulate mitochondrial metabolism. Since the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) is required for function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, we examined the dynamics of CL synthesis in growing Hela cells immediately after and 12 h post-fusion. Cells were transiently transfected with Mfn-2, to promote fusion, or Mfn-2 expressing an inactive GTPase for 24 h and de novo CL biosynthesis was examined immediately after or 12 h post-fusion. Western blot analysis confirmed elevated Mfn-2 expression and electron microscopic analysis revealed that Hela cell mitochondrial structure was normal immediately after and 12 h post-fusion. Cells expressing Mfn-2 exhibited reduced CL de novo biosynthesis from [1,3-3H]glycerol immediately after fusion and this was due to a decrease in phosphatidylglycerol phosphate synthase (PGPS) activity and its mRNA expression. In contrast, 12 h post-mitochondrial fusion cells expressing Mfn-2 exhibited increased CL de novo biosynthesis from [1,3-3H]glycerol and this was due to an increase in PGPS activity and its mRNA expression. Cells expressing Mfn-2 with an inactive GTPase activity did not exhibit alterations in CL de novo biosynthesis immediately after or 12 h post-fusion. The Mfn-2 mediated alterations in CL de novo biosynthesis were not accompanied by alterations in CL or monolysoCL mass. [1-14C]Oleate incorporation into CL was elevated at 12 h post-fusion indicating increased CL resynthesis. The reason for the increased CL resynthesis was an increased mRNA expression of tafazzin, a mitochondrial CL resynthesis enzyme. Ceramide-induced expression of PGPS in Hela cells or in CHO cells did not alter expression of Mfn-2 indicating that Mfn-2 expression is independent of altered CL synthesis mediated by elevated PGPS. In addition, Mfn-2 expression was not altered in Hela cells expressing phospholipid scramblase-3 or a disrupted scramblase indicating that proper CL localization within mitochondria is not essential for Mfn-2 expression. The results suggest that immediately post-mitochondrial fusion CL de novo biosynthesis is “slowed down” and then 12 h post-fusion it is “upregulated”. The implications of this are discussed. 相似文献

Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid which is almost exclusively located at the level of the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is biosynthesized. This phospholipid is known to be intimately involved in several mitochondrial bioenergetic processes. In addition, cardiolipin also has active roles in several of the mitochondrial-dependent steps of apoptosis and in mitochondrial membrane dynamics. Alterations in cardiolipin structure, content and acyl chains composition have been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple tissues in several physiopathological conditions, including ischemia/reperfusion, different thyroid states, diabetes, aging and heart failure. Cardiolipin is particularly susceptible to ROS attack due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids. Oxidative damage to cardiolipin would negatively impact the biochemical function of the mitochondrial membranes altering membrane fluidity, ion permeability, structure and function of components of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, resulting in reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation efficiency and apoptosis. Diseases in which mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to cardiolipin peroxidation are described. Ca2+, particularly at high concentrations, appears to have several negative effects on mitochondrial function, some of these effects being linked to CL peroxidation. Cardiolipin peroxidation has been shown to participate, together with Ca2+, in mitochondrial permeability transition. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of CL peroxidation and Ca2+ in mitochondrial dysfunction and disease. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is an anionic phospholipid with a dimeric structure predominantly localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane, where it is closely associated with mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and genome stability (Daum, 1985; Janitor and Subik, 1993; Jiang et al., 2000; Schlame et al., 2000; Zhong et al., 2004). Previous studies have shown that yeast mutant cells lacking CL due to a disruption in CRD1, the structural gene encoding CL synthase, exhibit defective colony formation at elevated temperature even on glucose medium (Jiang et al., 1999; Zhong et al., 2004), suggesting a role for CL in cellular processes apart from mitochondrial bioenergetics. In the current study, we present evidence that the crd1Delta mutant exhibits severe vacuolar defects, including swollen vacuole morphology and loss of vacuolar acidification, at 37 degrees C. Moreover, vacuoles from crd1Delta show decreased vacuolar H(+)-ATPase activity and proton pumping, which may contribute to loss of vacuolar acidification. Deletion mutants in RTG2 and NHX1, which mediate vacuolar pH and ion homeostasis, rescue the defective colony formation phenotype of crd1Delta, strongly suggesting that the temperature sensitivity of crd1Delta is a consequence of the vacuolar defects. Our results demonstrate the existence of a novel mitochondria-vacuole signaling pathway mediated by CL synthesis. 相似文献

Mitochondria of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain enzymes Crd1p and Psd1p, which synthesize cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylethanolamine respectively. A previous study indicated that crd1Δ is synthetically lethal with psd1Δ. In this study, to identify novel genes involved in CL metabolism, we searched for genes that genetically interact with Psd1p, and found that deletion of FMP30 encoding a mitochondrial inner membrane protein results in a synthetic growth defect with psd1Δ. Although fmp30Δ cells grew normally and exhibited a slightly decreased CL level, fmp30Δpsd1Δ cells exhibited a severe growth defect and an about 20-fold reduction in the CL level, as compared with the wild-type control. We found also that deletion of FMP30 caused a defect in mitochondrial morphology. Furthermore, FMP30 genetically interacted with seven mitochondrial morphology genes. These results indicated that Fmp30p is involved in the maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and required for the accumulation of a normal level of CL in the absence of mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis. 相似文献

No data are reported on changes in mitochondrial membrane phospholipids in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We determined the content of mitochondrial membrane phospholipids from rats with non alcoholic liver steatosis, with a particular attention for cardiolipin (CL) content and its fatty acid composition, and their relation with the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. Different dietary fatty acid patterns leading to steatosis were explored. With high-fat diet, moderate macrosteatosis was observed and the liver mitochondrial phospholipid class distribution and CL fatty acids composition were modified. Indeed, both CL content and its C18:2n-6 content were increased with liver steatosis. Moreover, mitochondrial ATP synthase activity was positively correlated to the total CL content in liver phospholipid and to CL C18:2n-6 content while other complexes activity were negatively correlated to total CL content and/or CL C18:2n-6 content of liver mitochondria. The lard-rich diet increased liver CL synthase gene expression while the fish oil-rich diet increased the (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids content in CL. Thus, the diet may be a significant determinant of both the phospholipid class content and the fatty acid composition of liver mitochondrial membrane, and the activities of some of the respiratory chain complex enzymes may be influenced by dietary lipid amount in particular via modification of the CL content and fatty acid composition in phospholipid. 相似文献
