Structural determinants of lipid specificity within Ups/PRELI lipid transfer proteins has been reported.
Title: Structural determinants of lipid specificity within Ups/PRELI lipid transfer proteins.
crystal structure of Ups1-Mdm35 bound with a phosphatidic acid (PA) molecule at 2.0 A resolution; study reveals molecular basis of Ups1-Mdm35-mediated PA binding and transfer and sheds new light on mechanism of intramitochondrial lipid transport by MSF1/PRELI family proteins
Title: Structural basis of intramitochondrial phosphatidic acid transport mediated by Ups1-Mdm35 complex.
The Ups1-Mdm35 complex constitutes a single domain that has a deep pocket and flexible Omega-loop lid. A basic residue at the pocket bottom and the Omega-loop lid are important for phosphatidic acid extraction from the membrane following Ups1 binding.
Title: Structural and mechanistic insights into phospholipid transfer by Ups1-Mdm35 in mitochondria.
PS is transferred from the mitochondrial outer membrane to the inner membrane independently of Psd1p, Ups1p, and Ups2p and decarboxylated to PE by Psd1p in the inner membrane
Title: Phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in mitochondria: phosphatidylserine (PS) trafficking is independent of a PS decarboxylase and intermembrane space proteins UPS1P and UPS2P.
study identified Ups1 as a lipid transfer protein that can shuttle phosphatidic acid between mitochondrial membranes; lipid transfer required the dynamic assembly of Ups1 with Mdm35 and allowed conversion of phosphatidic acid to cardiolipin in the inner membrane
Title: Intramitochondrial transport of phosphatidic acid in yeast by a lipid transfer protein.
Data suggest that Ups1p and Up2p proteins may function in phospholipid trafficking between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.
Title: Role for two conserved intermembrane space proteins, Ups1p and Ups2p, [corrected] in intra-mitochondrial phospholipid trafficking.
The authors show that Ups1, Ups2 and Ups3 protein import is mediated by another mitochondrial intermembrane space protein, Mdm35p.
Title: Mdm35p imports Ups proteins into the mitochondrial intermembrane space by functional complex formation.
The authors identified Mdm35, a member of the twin Cx9C protein family, as a novel interaction partner of Ups1 and Ups2.
Title: Regulation of mitochondrial phospholipids by Ups1/PRELI-like proteins depends on proteolysis and Mdm35.
Data report that two homologous intermembrane space proteins, Ups1p and Ups2p, control cardiolipin metabolism and affect the assembly state of TIM23 and its association with PAM in an opposing manner.
Title: Ups1p and Ups2p antagonistically regulate cardiolipin metabolism in mitochondria.
deletion strains, ylr193cDelta/ylr193cDelta, yor305wDelta/yor305wDelta, and ypr170cDelta/ypr170cDelta, mate at very low frequencies with haploids of either or both MATa/MATalpha mating types.
Title: Single-gene deletions that restore mating competence to diploid yeast.
