TL;DR: Genome phylogenetic profiling, genome-wide RNA co-expression analysis and organelle-wide protein coexpression analysis are used to predict proteins functionally related to MICU1, establishing MCU as an essential component of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter.
Journal ArticleDOI
MICU1 encodes a mitochondrial EF hand protein required for Ca 2+ uptake

TL;DR: An integrative strategy is used to predict human genes involved in mitochondrial calcium entry based on clues from comparative physiology, evolutionary genomics and organelle proteomics, and finds MICU1 represents the founding member of a set of proteins required for high-capacity mitochondrial calcium uptake.

TL;DR: The results identify MICU2 as a new component of the uniporter complex that may contribute to the tissue-specific regulation of this channel, and provide multiple lines of biochemical evidence that MCU, MICU1 andMICU2 reside within a complex and cross-stabilize each other's protein expression in a cell-type dependent manner.
