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 | 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. | 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 | Phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in mitochondria: phosphatidylserine (PS) trafficking is independent of a PS decarboxylase and intermembrane space proteins UPS1P and UPS2P.
