The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) promotes bioenergetics via oxidative
phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Three tightly bound CLs are evolutionarily conserved in the
ADP/ATP carrier (AAC in yeast; adenine nucleotide translocator, ANT in mammals) which
resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and exchanges ADP and ATP to enable OXPHOS.
Here, we investigated the role of these buried CLs in the carrier using yeast Aac2 as a model.
