Mitochondrial membrane biogenesis requires the interorganelle transport of phospholipids. Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and related membranes (mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM)) is transported to the mitochondria by unknown gene products and decarboxylated to form phosphatidylethanolamine at the inner membrane by PtdSer decarboxylase 1 (Psd1p). We have designed a screen for strains defective in PtdSer transport (pstA mutants) between the endoplasmic reticulum and Psd1p that relies on isolating ethanolamine auxotrophs in suitable (psd2⌬) genetic backgrounds. Following chemical mutagenesis, we isolated an ethanolamine auxotroph that we designate pstA1-1. Using in vivo and in vitro phospholipid synthesis/transport measurements, we demonstrate that the pstA1-1 mutant is defective in PtdSer transport between the MAM and mitochondria. The gene that complements the growth defect and PtdSer transport defect of the pstA1-1 mutant is MET30, which encodes a substrate recognition subunit of the SCF (suppressor of kinetochore protein 1, cullin, F-box) ubiquitin ligase complex. Reconstitution of different permutations of MAM and mitochondria from wild type and pstA1-1 strains demonstrates that the MET30 gene product affects both organelles. These data provide compelling evidence that interorganelle PtdSer traffic is regulated by ubiquitination.
