Separating mitochondrial protein assembly and endoplasmic reticulum tethering by selective coupling of Mdm10

Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) connects the mitochondrial outer membrane with the ER. Multiple functions have been linked to ERMES, including maintenance of mitochondrial morphology, protein assembly and phospholipid homeostasis. Since the mitochondrial distribution and morphology protein Mdm10 is present in both ERMES and the mitochondrial sorting and assembly machinery (SAM), it is unknown how the ERMES functions are connected on a molecular level. Here we report that cons… Show more

“…The ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) revealed a remarkable separation with three subunits present in class 1 and two in class 3. This dual distribution is consistent with data from previous work showing that Mdm10, Mdm34, and Gem1 are anchored in the mitochondrial outer membrane, whereas Mmm1 localizes to the ER membrane and Mdm12 is bridging Mmm1 and Mdm34/Mdm10 at the cytosolic side (Ellenrieder et al., 2016, Kornmann et al., 2009). Various proteins controlling mitochondrial fusion and fission were also present in class 1, albeit with a broader distribution (Figure 2F).…”

“…Interestingly, several mitochondrial tethers bind proteins that have a role in translocation and this might serve as a way to regulate these functions. One of the most studied examples is the shuttling of Mdm10 between the ERMES complex, where it functions in tethering, and the SAM complex, where it promotes the biogenesis of α-helical and β-barrel proteins [8]. Lam6 also interacts with Tom70/71 and EMCs interact with Tom5 [10,13,14].…”

“…On the one side it associates with the SAM complex to promote the assembly of the TOM complex. On the other side it forms the mitochondrial membrane anchor of the ER‐mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) . The ERMES complex forms a molecular tether between the ER and mitochondria that is crucial to maintain mitochondrial morphology and lipid homeostasis .…”

“…Thus, coupling to different partner proteins allows Mdm10 to carry out distinct functions for mitochondrial biogenesis. Upon reconstitution into a lipid bilayer recombinant Mdm10 forms a slight cation‐selective channel with a maximal conductance of 480 pS . In this context, it is particularly interesting, that addition of Tom22 specifically induces fast gating of the Mdm10 channel pore.…”
