We hypothesize a working model of the function of BCS1L and LETM1 in mitochondrial biogenesis (Fig. 8E). Because BCS1L is an AAA-ATPase, the following three functions are downstream targets: (1) respiratory chain assembly, (2) mitochondrial morphology maintenance and, (3) LETM1 complex formation. BCS1L functions directly in the formation of mitochondrial tubular networks, in addition to the assembly of the supercomplexes. LETM1 has a distinct role in maintenance of mitochondrial volume and shapes, which helps – in concert with BCS1L – to achieve the efficient assembly of the respiratory chains. |
