Figure 1

Diagrams of two types of CL synthesis pathways occurring in bacteria and eukaryotic mitochondria, respectively. (a) CLS_pld pathway in a bacterium; (b) CLS_cap and maturation pathways in a mitochondrion of a eukaryotic cell. ER, endoplasmic reticulum; PM, plasmamembrane; OM, out membrane of mitochondrion; IMS, intermembrane space; IM, innermembrane of mitochondrion. Dashed arrow indicates the upstream pathways that not displayed here.
