Gene Description

Psd1 (YNL169C) is the mitochondrial phosphatidylserine decarboxylase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EC 4.1.1.65), a type I PSD that decarboxylates phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine and produces the majority of cellular PE. It is synthesized as a proenzyme that is imported into mitochondria and undergoes autocatalytic serine-dependent cleavage at an LGST motif into a membrane-anchored beta subunit and a pyruvoyl-containing alpha subunit; the active enzyme sits in the inner membrane with its catalytic site facing the intermembrane space and acts on PS imported from the ER. A minor pool of Psd1 is dual-targeted to the ER, where it supports lipid droplet biogenesis. Inner-membrane PE made by Psd1 is needed for respiratory complex III activity, normal mitochondrial morphology and fusion (including Mgm1 processing); psd1 psd2 double mutants are ethanolamine auxotrophs. Psd1 is also needed for efficient mitophagy after nitrogen starvation, probably because PE supply limits recruitment of lipidated Atg8 to mitochondria, whereas Psd2 matters more for stationary-phase mitophagy.

    PE generated by ER-localized Psd1 is required for normal LD morphology

SGD gene description for PSD1 (yeast)

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase of the mitochondrial inner membrane; converts phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine; regulates mitochondrial fusion and morphology; partly exposed to the mitochondrial intermembrane space; ER-localized fraction is involved in formation of lipid droplets; autocatalytically processed
