Are there specific lipid-based mechanism for shaping inner #mitochondrial #membrane?

Itay Budin, Padmini Rangamani and coworkers at UC San Diego show that #cristae formation is controlled by #cardiolipin and #lipid saturation, in addition to protein-mediated shaping

Our study on the functional conservation of alphaproteobacterial Mic60 is out in Current Biology! This is consistent with the origin of mitochondrial cristae from alphaproteobacterial ICMs. Free access here: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1gl4Z3QW8S2PcF
