New roles of LPGAT1: From mitochondrial import of phosphatidylglycerol to MEGDEL disease

Cell Rep. 2023 Nov 28;42(11):113376. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113376. Epub 2023 Nov 2.

Abstract

Dysregulation of mitochondrial lipidome is associated with several human pathologies. Sun et al.1 show that LPGAT1 cooperates with TIMM14 to regulate phosphatidylglycerol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the mitochondria, and uncover the involvement of LPGAT1 deficiency in MEGDEL syndrome.
