Newfoundland Mutation TMEM43 -p.S358L Causes Impaired Cardiac Energy Metabolism and Mitochondrial Function Through Altered Protein Interaction

Key Points

This research investigates how the TMEM43-p.S358L mutation affects cardiac energy metabolism and mitochondrial function.
Examined protein interactions between mutant TMEM43 and mitochondrial proteins
Analyzed changes in mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism
Mutant TMEM43 shows altered protein interactions with mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum proteins
Impairments in lipid homeostasis and energy supply in cardiac cells were observed

Abstract

We suggest differential interaction of mutant TMEM43 with proteins of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum influences endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial contact sites. TMEM43-p.S358L primarily contributes to changes in mitochondrial function affecting lipid homeostasis and energy supply.
