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

    LETM1 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...

    Biosynthesis and roles of phospholipids in mitochondrial fusion, division and mitophagy

    Mitochondria move, fuse and divide in cells. The dynamic behavior of mitochondria is central to the control of their structure and function. Three conserved mitochondrial dynamin-related GTPases (i.e., mitofu...
