The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (Mpc) plays an indispensable role in the transport of pyruvates across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Despite the two distinct homologous proteins, Mpc1 and Mpc2, were identified in 2012, there are still controversies on the basic functional units and oligomeric state of Mpc complexes. In this study, yeast Mpc1 and Mpc2 proteins were expressed in a prokaryotic heterologous system. Both homo- and hetero-dimers were successfully reconstituted in mixed...

NMR Characterization of Long-Chain Fatty Acylcarnitine Binding to the Mitochondrial Carnitine/Acylcarnitine Carrier
The mitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier (CAC) transports short-, medium- and long-carbon chain acylcarnitines across the mitochondrial inner membrane in exchange for carnitine. How CAC recognizes the substrates with various fatty acyl groups, especially long-chain fatty acyl groups, remains unclear. Here, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, we have shown that the CAC protein reconstituted into a micelle system exhibits a typical six transmembrane...

The role of one of the histidine residues present in many adenylate kinases (H36 in the porcine cytosolic enzyme) is highly disputed. We thus studied the yeast enzyme (AKye) containing this His residue. AKye is highly homologous to the Escherichia coli enzyme (AKec), a protein that is already well...
