TLDR
This work has identified the yeast mitochondrial pyruvate carrier by measuring inhibitor-sensitive pyruVate uptake into mitochondria from 18 different Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, each lacking an unattributed member of the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF).Abstract:
Mitochondrial pyruvate transport is fundamental for metabolism and mediated by a specific inhibitable carrier. We have identified the yeast mitochondrial pyruvate carrier by measuring inhibitor-sensitive pyruvate uptake into mitochondria from 18 different Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, each lacking an unattributed member of the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF). Only mitochondria from the YIL006w deletion mutant exhibited no inhibitor-sensitive pyruvate transport, but otherwise behaved normally. YIL006w encodes a 41.9 kDa MCF member with homologous proteins present in both the human and mouse genomes.read more

Lactate metabolism: a new paradigm for the third millennium
TL;DR: The bulk of the evidence suggests that lactate is an important intermediary in numerous metabolic processes, a particularly mobile fuel for aerobic metabolism, and perhaps a mediator of redox state among various compartments both within and between cells.

Respiratory metabolism: glycolysis, the TCA cycle and mitochondrial electron transport.
TL;DR: A wide range of molecular and biochemical strategies have been adopted to elucidate the functional significance of these interactions between mitochondrial function in the photosynthetic and photorespiratory processes, amino-acid biosynthesis and the regulation of cellular redox.

TL;DR: Human genetic studies of three families with children suffering from lactic acidosis and hyperpyruvatemia revealed a causal locus that mapped to MPC1, changing single amino acids that are conserved throughout eukaryotes, demonstrating that Mpc1 and Mpc2 form an essential part of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier.
