Cardiolipin is required for membrane docking of mitochondrial ribosomes and protein synthesis

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial inner membrane contains a unique phospholipid known as cardiolipin (CL), which stabilises the protein complexes embedded in the membrane and supports its overall structure. Recent evidence indicates that the mitochondrial ribosome may associate with the inner membrane to facilitate co-translational insertion of the hydrophobic oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) proteins into the inner membrane. We generated three mutant knockout cell lines for the cardiolipin biosynthesis gene Crls1 to investigate the effects of cardiolipin loss on mitochondrial protein synthesis. Reduced CL levels caused altered mitochondrial morphology and transcriptome-wide changes that were accompanied by reduced uncoordinated mitochondrial translation rates and impaired respiratory supercomplex formation. Aberrant protein synthesis was caused by impaired formation and distribution of mitochondrial ribosomes. Reduction or loss of cardiolipin resulted in resulted in different mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress responses. We show that cardiolipin is required to stabilise the interaction of the mitochondrial ribosome with the membrane via its association with OXA1 during active translation. This interaction facilitates insertion of newly synthesised mitochondrial proteins into the inner membrane and stabilises the respiratory supercomplexes.

Re-expression of tafazzin isoforms in TAZ-deficient C6 glioma cells restores cardiolipin composition but not proliferation rate and alterations in gene expression

Project description:Tafazzin an acyltransferase is involved in cardiolipin (CL) remodeling. CL is associated with mitochondrial function, structure and more recently with cell proliferation. Various tafazzin isoforms exists in humans. The role of these isoforms in cardiolipin remodeling is unknown. Aim of this study is to investigate if isoform Δ5, which is lacking exon 5, full length rat TAZ, and mutant full-length rat Taz (enzymatically dead H69L) could restore wild type phenotype in C6 TAZ cells with respect to CL composition, cellular proliferation and gene expression profile. In addition, we aim to determine the molecular mechanism by which tafazzin can modulate gene expression by applying promoter analysis and IPA to genes regulated by TAZ-deficiency. Expression of Δ5 and rat full length TAZ in C6-TAZ- cells can fully restore CL composition and – as proven for 5 – this is naturally associated with restoration of mitochondrial respiration. A similar restoration of CL-composition could not be observed after re-expression of an enzymatically dead full-length rat TAZ (H69L; TAZmut3). The re-expression of none of the TAZ isoforms used led to the restoration of the proliferation rate and gene expression profiles. Very likely TAZ-deficiency provokes substantial long-lasting changes in cellular lipid metabolism which contribute to changes in proliferation and gene expression, and are not or only very slowly reversible.

Cardiolipin Synthesis Governs Systemic Energy Homeostasis through Thermogenic Fat Mitochondria

Project description:Here we show that synthesis of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is an indispensable driver of thermogenic fat function. Cardiolipin biosynthesis is robustly induced in brown and beige adipose upon cold exposure. Mimicking this response by overexpressing cardiolipin synthase (Crls1) enhances energy consumption in mouse and human adipocytes. Crls1 deficiency diminishes mitochondrial uncoupling in brown and beige adipocytes and elicits a nuclear transcriptional response through ER stress-mediated retrograde communication. Cardiolipin depletion in brown and beige fat abolishes adipose thermogenesis and glucose uptake and renders animals strikingly insulin resistant. We further identify a rare human CRLS1 variant associated with insulin resistance and show that adipose CRLS1 levels positively correlate with insulin sensitivity. Thus, adipose cardiolipin is a powerful regulator of organismal energy homeostasis through thermogenic fat bioenergetics.

Cardiolipin prolongs the lifetimes of respiratory proteins in Drosophila flight muscle

Project description:To measure concurrently the lifetimes of proteins and lipids, we incubated fruit flies with stable isotope-labeled precursors (13C615N2-lysine or 13C6-glucose) and determined the relative abundance of heavy isotopomers in protein and lipid species by mass spectrometry. We restricted our analysis to a single, post-mitotic tissue, the indirect flight muscle, in order to measure lifetimes controlled by metabolic turnover but not tissue regeneration. Analysis of 680 protein and 45 lipid species, showed that the subunits of respiratory complexes I-V and the carriers for phosphate and ADP/ATP were among the longest-lived proteins in flight muscle (average half-life of 48+-16 days) while the molecular species of cardiolipin were the longest-lived lipids (average half-life of 27+-6 days). The remarkable longevity of these crista residents was not shared by all mitochondrial proteins, especially not by those residing in the matrix and the inner boundary membrane. Ablation of cardiolipin synthase, which causes replacement of cardiolipin by phosphatidylglycerol, and ablation of tafazzin, which causes partial replacement of cardiolipin by monolyso-cardiolipin, decreased the lifetimes of all subunits of the respiratory complexes. Ablation of tafazzin also decreased the lifetimes of the remaining cardiolipin species. These data suggest that an important function of cardiolipin in mitochondria is to protect respiratory complexes from degradation.

Reduced basal insulin secretion from islets isolated from tafazzin deficient mice is associated with reduced mitochondrial function

Project description:Tafazzin is a transacylase which causes the content and molecular structure of cardiolipin (CL) to be altered in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The enzymatic machinery responsible for oxidative respiration are localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and require CL for activity. As a result, tafazzin is critical for maintaining mitochondrial function. In beta-cells, which are the insulin secreting cells in pancreatic islets, mitochondrial function is linked to insulin secretion. We previously established that tafazzin knock-down mice were lean and maintained insulin sensitivity compared to the obese insulin resistant control litter mates. However, it was unknown whether tafazzin deficiency also influenced insulin secretion in the establishment of the lean phenotype. Using X week-old mice, we ascertained that the number of beta-cells was similar between genotypes. Ex vivo insulin secretion under low glucose conditions was reduced (52%) from islets isolated from tafazzin knock-down mice. Consistent with this tafazzin knock-down mice exhibited reduced fasting insulin plasma insulin levels. Measurement of mitochondrial oxygen consumption revealed that basal oxygen consumption was reduced (58%) in islets from tafazzin-deficient animals. The addition of etomoxir, an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid translocation, significantly elevated basal mitochondrial respiration (5-fold) in islets from tafazzin knockdown mice, indicating a significant fatty acid-mediated inhibitory effect. In contrast, etomoxir lacked any measurable effect on control wild-type islets. The altered mitochondrial function identified in taffazin knock-down islets was not associated with reduced CL content or elevated oxyCL species. Our experiments indicate that tafazzin plays a key role in regulating normal islet beta-cell function.

Identification of MIMAS, a multifunctional mega-assembly integrating metabolic and respiratory biogenesis factors of mitochondria

Project description:The mitochondrial inner membrane plays central roles in bioenergetics and metabolism and contains well established membrane protein complexes. Here we report the identification of a megacomplex of the inner membrane, termed mitochondrial multifunctional assembly (MIMAS). Its large size of 3 MDa explains why MIMAS has escaped detection in the analysis of mitochondria so far. MIMAS combines proteins of diverse functions from respiratory assembly to metabolite transport, dehydrogenases and lipid biosynthesis, but not the large established supercomplexes of the respiratory chain, ATP synthase or prohibitin scaffold. MIMAS integrity depends on the non-bilayer phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine in contrast to respiratory supercomplexes whose stability depends on cardiolipin. Our findings suggest that MIMAS forms a protein-lipid mega-assembly in the mitochondrial inner membrane that integrates respiratory biogenesis and metabolic processes in a multifunctional platform.

Disturbed intramitochondrial phosphatidic acid transport impairs cellular stress signaling

Project description:Lipid transfer proteins of the Ups1/PRELID1 family facilitate the transport of phospholipids across the intermembrane space of mitochondria in a lipid-specific manner. Heterodimeric complexes of yeast Ups1/Mdm35 or human PRELID1/TRIAP1 shuttle phosphatidic acid (PA) synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the inner membrane, where it is converted to cardiolipin (CL), the signature phospholipid of mitochondria. Loss of Ups1/PRELID1 proteins impairs the accumulation of CL and broadly affects mitochondrial structure and function. Unexpectedly and unlike yeast cells lacking the cardiolipin synthase Crd1, Ups1 deficient yeast cells exhibit glycolytic growth defects, pointing to functions of Ups1-mediated PA transfer beyond CL synthesis. Here, we show that the disturbed intramitochondrial transport of PA in ups1D cells leads to altered phospholipid composition of the ER membrane, independent of disturbances in CL synthesis. The impaired flux of PA into mitochondria is associated with the increased synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and a reduced phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)/PC ratio in the ER of ups1D cells which suppresses the unfolded protein response (UPR). Moreover, we observed inhibition of TORC1 signaling in these cells. Activation of either UPR by ER protein stress or of TORC1 signaling by disruption of its negative regulator, the SEACIT complex, increased cytosolic protein synthesis and restored glycolytic growth of ups1D cells. These results demonstrate that PA influx into mitochondria is required to preserve ER membrane homeostasis and that its disturbance is associated with impaired glycolytic growth and cellular stress signaling.

Cardiolipin remodeling enables protein crowding in the inner mitochondrial membrane

Project description:Mitochondrial cristae are more crowded with proteins than other cellular membranes. However, protein crowding stresses the bilayer organization of lipids, which challenges membrane stability. We tested the hypothesis that the high concentration of proteins drives the tafazzin-catalyzed remodeling of fatty acids in cardiolipin (CL) to reduce stress on the lipid bilayer

Zc3h10 controls mitochondrial function coupling iron and cardiolipin homeostasis.

Project description:Mitochondria are the energy-generating hubs of the cell. In spite of considerable advances, our understanding of the factors that regulate the molecular circuits that govern mitochondrial function remains incomplete. Using a genome-wide functional screen, we have identified the poorly characterized protein Zinc finger CCCH-type containing 10 (Zc3h10) as regulator of mitochondrial physiology. We show that Zc3h10 is a nuclear RNA binding protein that controls the fate of Slc25a37 and Prelid3a mRNA transcripts, two nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins central for iron and cardiolipin homeostasis. Depletion of Zc3h10 results in mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced TCA cycle flux. Notably, we have identified a loss-of-function mutation of Zc3h10 in humans (Tyr105 to Cys105) that is associated with decreased mitochondrial function, increased body mass index, fat mass, fasting glucose and triglycerides. Cells from Cys105 homozygotes display alterations in Slc25a37 and Prelid3a levels and defects in mitochondrial iron and cardiolipin homeostasis that derive in mitochondrial dysfunction.
