Abstract
In a recent study published in Nature, Ryu et al.1 demonstrate the presence of metabolically distinct mitochondrial subpopulations within one cell. One mitochondrial subpopulation contains the F1FO-ATP synthase for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), while a second population performs reductive biosynthesis of proline and ornithine. The separation of mitochondria into two functionally distinct pools is reversible and depends on their fusion and fission.
