GEP4

YHR100C
Mitochondrial phosphatidylglycerophosphatase (PGP phosphatase); dephosphorylates phosphatidylglycerolphosphate to generate phosphatidylglycerol, an essential step during cardiolipin biosynthesis; null mutant is sensitive to tunicamycin, DTT

MMP37, YGR046W
Mitochondrial phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase (CDP-DAG synthase); required for cardiolipin biosynthesis; viability of null mutant is strain-dependent; mRNA is targeted to the bud; mutant displays defect in mitochondrial protein import, likely due to altered membrane lipid composition

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

A mitochondrial phosphatase required for cardiolipin biosynthesis: the PGP phosphatase Gep4.

Osman C, Haag M, Wieland FT, Bruegger B, Langer T

Cardiolipin (CL), a unique dimeric phosphoglycerolipid predominantly present in mitochondrial membranes, has pivotal functions for the cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial dynamics and the initiation of apoptotic pathways. Perturbations in the mitochondrial CL metabolism cause cardiomyopathy in Barth syndrome. Here, we identify a novel phosphatase in the mitochondrial matrix space, Gep4, and demonstrate that it dephosphorylates phosphatidylglycerolphosphate to generate phosphatidylglycerol, an ... [more]
