Mmm1p, a Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Protein, Is Connected to Mitochondrial DNA (Mtdna) Nucleoids and Required for Mtdna Stability
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mitochondria form a branched, tubular reticulum in the periphery of the cell. Mmm1p is required to maintain normal mitochondrial shape and in mmm1 mutants mitochondria form large, spherical organelles. To further explore Mmm1p function, we examined the localization of a Mmm1p-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion in living cells. We found that Mmm1p-GFP i...
متن کاملMmm2p, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein required for yeast mitochondrial shape and maintenance of mtDNA nucleoids
The mitochondrial outer membrane protein, Mmm1p, is required for normal mitochondrial shape in yeast. To identify new morphology proteins, we isolated mutations incompatible with the mmm1-1 mutant. One of these mutants, mmm2-1, is defective in a novel outer membrane protein. Lack of Mmm2p causes a defect in mitochondrial shape and loss of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) nucleoids. Like the Mmm1 prote...
متن کاملERMES-mediated ER-mitochondria contacts: molecular hubs for the regulation of mitochondrial biology.
Organelles are separate yet interdependent units of eukaryotic cells. They provide an appropriate milieu for the catalysis of many biochemical reactions, and they must establish physical links to communicate and exchange metabolites throughout the cell. Interorganelle communication is an important, yet still poorly understood, aspect of cell biology. We recently identified a protein complex tha...
متن کاملER-associated mitochondrial division links the distribution of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA in yeast
Mitochondrial division is important for mitochondrial distribution and function. Recent data have demonstrated that ER-mitochondria contacts mark mitochondrial division sites, but the molecular basis and functions of these contacts are not understood. Here we show that in yeast, the ER-mitochondria tethering complex, ERMES, and the highly conserved Miro GTPase, Gem1, are spatially and functiona...
متن کاملLtc1 is an ER-localized sterol transporter and a component of ER–mitochondria and ER–vacuole contacts
Organelle contact sites perform fundamental functions in cells, including lipid and ion homeostasis, membrane dynamics, and signaling. Using a forward proteomics approach in yeast, we identified new ER-mitochondria and ER-vacuole contacts specified by an uncharacterized protein, Ylr072w. Ylr072w is a conserved protein with GRAM and VASt domains that selectively transports sterols and is thus te...
