Required for the biosynthesis of the dimeric phospholipid cardiolipin, which stabilizes supercomplexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the mitochondrial inner membrane.[UniProtKB:P53230] Publication Abstract from PubMed In mitochondria, CDP-diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) is a crucial precursor for cardiolipin biosynthesis. Mitochondrial CDP-DAG is synthesized by the translocator assembly and maintenance protein 41 (Tam41) through an elusive process. Here we show that Tam41 adopts sequential catalytic mechanism, and report crystal structures of the bulk N-terminal region of Tam41 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the apo and CTP-bound state. The structure reveals that Tam41 contains a nucleotidyltransferase (NTase) domain and a winged helix domain. CTP binds to an "L"-shaped pocket sandwiched between the two domains. Rearrangement of a loop region near the active site is essential for opening the CTP-binding pocket. Docking of phosphatidic acid/CDP-DAG in the structure suggests a lipid entry/exit pathway connected to the "L"-shaped pocket. The C-terminal region of SpTam41 contains a positively charged amphipathic helix crucial for membrane association and participates in binding phospholipids. These results provide detailed insights into the mechanism of CDP-DAG biosynthesis in mitochondria.
