A brilliant new paper by @Marilia Meira Dias and @Thomas MacVicar and others is out! It has discovered that a mitochondrial carrier SLC25A45 is involved in the uptake of methylated lysine and arginine, a key step in carnitine biosynthesis!

SLC25A45 is required for mitochondrial uptake of methylated amino acids and de novo carnitine biosynthesis
Methylated amino acids accumulate upon the degradation of methylated proteins and are implicated in diverse metabolic and signaling pathways. Disturbe…

Machine-learning-guided discovery of SLC25A45 as a mediator of mitochondrial methylated amino acid import and carnitine synthesis
Khan et al. apply machine learning to identify substrates of UNC93A, SLC45A4, and
SLC25A45. Biochemical assays and in vivo metabolite tracing establish SLC25A45 as
a key mediator of mitochondrial impo...
