Lipid trafficking between mitochondria and other organelles is required for mitochondrial
membrane biogenesis and signaling. This lipid exchange occurs by poorly understood …

Mitochondria are often considered as the power stations of the cell, playing critical roles in
various biological processes such as cellular respiration, photosynthesis, stress responses …

The composition of the mitochondrial outer membrane is notoriously difficult to deduce by
orthology to other organisms, and biochemical enrichments are inevitably contaminated with …

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles surrounded by two membranes with a defined lipid
composition. The majority of lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and …

Mitochondrial membrane phospholipids are essential for the mitochondrial architecture, the
activity of respiratory proteins, and the transport of proteins into the mitochondria. The …

Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the coordinated assembly of proteins and lipids into the
organelle. Mitochondria can synthesize several acidic phospholipids autonomously …

Lipids are the building blocks of cellular membranes and are synthesized at distinct parts of
the cell. A precise control of lipid synthesis and distribution is crucial for cell function and …

Mitochondrial membrane biogenesis requires the import and synthesis of proteins as well as
phospholipids. How the mitochondrion regulates phospholipid levels and maintains a tight …

Highlights•Plant mitochondrial membranes act as integrators of respiration and cell
physiology.•The outer membrane provides an attachment platform for auxiliary cell …

Fatty acid and lipoic acid biosynthesis were investigated in plant mitochondria. Although the
mitochondria lack acetyl-CoA carboxylase, our experiments reveal that they contain the …
