Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria catabolize nutrients by generating sequentially-ordered organic acid intermediates that are oxidized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pathogenic accumulation of metabolic organic acids manifests as devastating organic acidemias/acidurias and other severe diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Using unbiased C. elegans genetic screening, we here reveal that mutations in the...
