Title: | Prokaryotic and Mitochondrial Lipids: A Survey of Evolutionary Origins | Authors: | Rappocciolo, Emilia Stiban, Johnny |
Keywords: | Evolution;Membrane lipids;Mitochondria;Membrane lipids;Mitochondries;Prokaryotes;Sphingolipids | Issue Date: | 2019 | Abstract: | Mitochondria and bacteria share a myriad of properties since it is believed that the powerhouses of the eukaryotic cell have evolved from a prokaryotic origin. Ribosomal RNA sequences, DNA architecture and metabolism are strikingly similar in these two entities. Proteins and nucleic acids have been a hallmark for comparison between mitochondria and prokaryotes. In this chapter, similarities (and differences) between mitochondrial and prokaryotic membranes are addressed with a focus on structure-function relationship of different lipid classes. In order to be suitable for the theme of the book, a special emphasis is reserved to the effects of bioactive sphingolipids, mainly ceramide, on mitochondrial membranes and their roles in initiating programmed cell death. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/6043 | ISSN: | 0065-2598 |
