In addition to efficient synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, acquisition of the mitochondrial endosymbiont brought a whole range of new metabolic capabilities to the ancestral eukaryotic cell lineage such that the mitochondrion retains an important role in numerous anabolic and catabolic processes. While respiration dominates metabolism of the mitochondrion, this organelle is also important in the catabolism of amino acids and the provision of carbon skeletons for biosynthesis of a wide range of compounds including amino acids, vitamins, lipids, and tetrapyrroles. However, mitochond...
