Here we show that a supercomplex containing all four respiratory chain components contributes to membrane curvature induction in ciliates. We report cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-tomography structures of the supercomplex that comprises 150 different proteins and 311 bound lipids, forming a stable 5.8-MDa assembly. Owing to subunit acquisition and extension, complex I associates with a complex IV dimer, generating a wedge-shaped gap that serves as a binding site for complex II. Together with a tilted complex III dimer association, it results in a curved membrane region. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that the divergent supercomplex actively contributes to the membrane curvature induction and tubulation of cristae. Our findings highlight how the evolution of protein subunits of respiratory complexes has led to the I-II-III2-IV2 supercomplex that contributes to the shaping of the bioenergetic membrane, thereby enabling its functional specialization.", "doi": "10.1038/s41586-023-05817-y", "pmid": "36949187", "labels": {"Cryo-EM": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC10060162"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41586-023-05817-y"}], "notes": [], "created": "2023-08-15T12:46:05.104Z", "modified": "2023-12-04T10:01:52.146Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "13b50e6dabb34ef58cf5cc56f7fc51d3", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/13b50e6dabb34ef58cf5cc56f7fc51d3.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/13b50e6dabb34ef58cf5cc56f7fc51d3"}}, "title": "Type III ATP synthase is a symmetry-deviated dimer that induces membrane curvature through tetramerization.", "authors": [{"family": "Flygaard", "given": "Rasmus Kock", "initials": "RK", "orcid": "0000-0002-4918-6438", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8a5982a29fb44d6b96d84834275b5bd0.json"}}, {"family": "M\u00fchleip", "given": "Alexander", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-1877-2282", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/921b5acb5b7c402fa06c8c148cbd5340.json"}}, {"family": "Tobiasson", "given": "Victor", "initials": "V", "orcid": "0000-0001-8920-017X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/5208789057a94d0d9575476bf9c88d5a.json"}}, {"family": "Amunts", "given": "Alexey", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-5302-1740", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/e7d0bf36ad1a47f5b5b88f78d1e15395.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2020-10-22", "journal": {"title": "Nat Commun", "issn": "2041-1723", "volume": "11", "issue": "1", "pages": "5342", "issn-l": "2041-1723"}, "abstract": "Mitochondrial ATP synthases form functional homodimers to induce cristae curvature that is a universal property of mitochondria. To expand on the understanding of this fundamental phenomenon, we characterized the unique type III mitochondrial ATP synthase in its dimeric and tetrameric form. The cryo-EM structure of a ciliate ATP synthase dimer reveals an unusual U-shaped assembly of 81 proteins, including a substoichiometrically bound ATPTT2, 40 lipids, and co-factors NAD and CoQ. A single copy of subunit ATPTT2 functions as a membrane anchor for the dimeric inhibitor IF1. Type III specific linker proteins stably tie the ATP synthase monomers in parallel to each other. The intricate dimer architecture is scaffolded by an extended subunit-a that provides a template for both intra- and inter-dimer interactions. The latter results in the formation of tetramer assemblies, the membrane part of which we determined to 3.1 \u00c5 resolution. The structure of the type III ATP synthase tetramer and its associated lipids suggests that it is the intact unit propagating the membrane curvature.", "doi": "10.1038/s41467-020-18993-6", "pmid": "33093501", "labels": {"Cryo-EM": "Service", "Global Proteomics and Proteogenomics": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41467-020-18993-6"}, {"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC7583250"}], "notes": [], "created": "2020-10-26T14:40:56.262Z", "modified": "2023-12-04T10:09:34.900Z"}]}
