Cardiolipin puts the seal on ATP synthase.
ATP synthases are remarkable proteins that regenerate the molecular fuel for cellular processes in all domains of life (1). Embedded into the inner membranes of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria, FoF1-ATP synthase produces most of the cellular ATP, using ADP and inorganic phosphate as inputs (Fig. 1A). This thermodynamically unfavorable reaction is powered by a proton electrochemical gra...
متن کاملFunctional Specificity of Cardiolipin Synthase Revealed by the Identification of a Cardiolipin Synthase CrCLS1 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and cardiolipin (CL) are two essential classes of phospholipid in plants and algae. Phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase (PGPS) and cardiolipin synthase (CLS) involved in the biosynthesis of PG and CL belong to CDP-alcohol phosphotransferase and share overall amino acid sequence homology. However, it remains elusive whether PGPS and CLS are functionally distinct in vi...
متن کاملAn essential bacterial-type cardiolipin synthase mediates cardiolipin formation in a eukaryote.
Cardiolipin is important for bacterial and mitochondrial stability and function. The final step in cardiolipin biosynthesis is catalyzed by cardiolipin synthase and differs mechanistically between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. To study the importance of cardiolipin synthesis for mitochondrial integrity, membrane protein complex formation, and cell proliferation in the human and animal pathogenic ...
متن کاملNegative control of Strictisidine synthase like-7 gene on salt stress resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Strictosidine synthase-like (SSL) is a group of gene families in the Arabidopsis genome, which whose orthologues in other plants are key enzymes in mono-terpenoid indole-alkaloid biosynthesis pathway. The SSL7 is upregulated upon treatments of Arabidopsis plants with signaling molecules such as SA, methyl jasmonate and ethylene. To find the functional role of the gene, a T-DNA-mediated knockout...
متن کاملAn unusual phosphatidylethanolamine-utilizing cardiolipin synthase is discovered in bacteria.
C ardiolipin (also known as diphosphatidylglycerol) is a four-chained anionic membrane phospholipid composed of two phosphatidyl moieties joined by a glycerol link (Fig. 1). It was first isolated from beef heart as a serologically active phospholipid (1), hence the name cardiolipin. In animals, plants, and lower eukaryotic organisms (e.g., yeast), cardiolipin is a component of the inner mitocho...
