Saturated lipid stress attenuates mitochondrial genome synthesis in human cells

Casadora Boone, Sophie Judge, Ahmad Shami, Bezawit T. Danna, Andréa B Ball, Tejashree Pradip Waingankar, Hera Saqub, Ajit S. Divakaruni, Samantha C. Lewis

The paper shows that saturated lipid stress reduces mtDNA synthesis in human cells by disrupting ER-mitochondria contact sites and fatty acid trafficking, which is reversed by monounsaturated fatty acids.
