The mitochondrial inner membrane protein LETM1 modulates cristae organization through its LETM domain [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2020
AbstractLETM1 is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is required for maintaining the mitochondrial morphology and cristae structures, and regulates mitochondrial ion homeostasis. Here we report a role of LETM1 in the organization of cristae structures. We identified four amino acid residues of human LETM1 that are crucial for complementation of
