Evolution: ‘Millefoglie’ origin of mitochondrial cristae

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Striated intracytoplasmic membranes in alphaproteobacteria are often reminiscent of millefoglie pastries. A new study reveals a protein complex homologous to that responsible for mitochondrial cristae formation drives intracytoplasmic membrane formation, thereby establishing bacterial ancestry for the biogenesis of mitochondrial cristae.
