Cardiolipin remodeling: a regulatory hub for modulating cardiolipin metabolism and function [PDF]
Cardiolipin (CL), the signature phospholipid of mitochondria, is involved in a plethora of cellular processes and is crucial for mitochondrial function and architecture. The de novo synthesis of CL in the mitochondria is followed by a unique remodeling process, in which CL undergoes cycles of deacylation and reacylation. Specific fatty acyl composition

Chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on RocS, a bitopic protein whose membrane‐anchoring mechanisms were unclear. Using NMR and AFM, this study reveals that the widely conserved RocS anchor binds to membranes via a conserved kink‐helix motif which inserts into lipid nanodomains.

Saturated free fatty acids and apoptosis in microvascular mesangial cells: palmitate activates pro-apoptotic signaling involving caspase 9 and mitochondrial release of endonuclease G [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In type 2 diabetes, free fatty acids (FFA) accumulate in microvascular cells, but the phenotypic consequences of FFA accumulation in the microvasculature are incompletely understood. Here we investigated whether saturated FFA induce apoptosis

Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Inherited Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic avenue for mitochondrial diseases. This review comprehensively evaluates MTx, differentiating its feasibility for mtDNA‐ and nDNA‐based disorders. It examines its potential for genetic correction, alongside inherent limitations, technical challenges, and crucial ethical considerations ...

Mieap forms membrane-less organelles involved in cardiolipin metabolism
Summary: Biomolecular condensates (BCs) are formed by proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) via liquid-liquid phase separation. Mieap/Spata18, a p53-inducible protein, participates in suppression of colorectal tumors by promoting ...

ABSTRACT RASopathies are clinically overlapping neurodevelopmental syndromes resulting from germline mutations in genes involved in the rat sarcoma/mitogen‐activated protein kinases (RAS/MAPK) pathway. Historically, RASopathies have been described by clinical phenotypes, such as Noonan syndrome and Neurofibromatosis type I.

Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is a metabolic disorder caused by the loss of LCHAD enzymatic activity in the α-subunit of the trifunctional protein (TFPα), leading to impaired fatty acid oxidation (FAO).

Negligible release of cardiolipin during milk secretion by the ruminant
The presence of cardiolipin (diphosphatidyl glycerol) in lactating mammary tissue (cow and goat) was investigated. The tissue was separated into subcellular fractions by sedimentation; the identities of the fractions were confirmed by electron microscopy.
