Dataset Summary
TitleLETMD1 regulates brown adipocyte thermogenesis through facilitation of mitochondrial protein import
DescriptionThermogenic brown and beige adipocytes (BA) are powerful agents against the growing global obesity epidemic, as they break down lipids to generate heat. We and others have recently shown that LETM1-domain containing 1 (LETMD1) is a cold-induced protein essential for mitochondrial cristae structure and thermogenic function of BA. Still, how LETMD1 regulates thermogenesis of BA remains unclear. Here we first demonstrated that LETMD1 is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein. We next generated a BA-specific UCP1-Cre mediated Letmd1 knockout (Letmd1UKO) mouse model to show that LETMD1 plays a cell autonomous role in maintaining the structure and function of BA. We further uncovered robust mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) and protein aggregation within Letmd1UKO BA, in conjunction with elevated levels of reactive oxidative stress and mitochondrial hyperpolarization. We then used TurboID proximity labeling to identify candidate LETMD1-interacting proteins, many of which are associated with the mitochondrial protein import machinery and electron transport chain Complexes I and IV. We finally used quantitative proteomics to reveal an enrichment of Complex I and IV proteins within the insoluble protein aggregates. These results suggest that LETMD1 facilitates the mitochondrial import of respiratory chain proteins to maintain BA cristae structure and thermogenesis.
