EMRE Is an Essential Component of the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Complex

TL;DR: Sancak et al. complete the molecular characterization of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), the multicomponent channel that allows concentration of calcium within the organelle, and identify a small protein termed “essential MCU regulator”—or EMRE—which was required for calcium transport activity of the fully assembled uniporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial proteome and human disease.

TL;DR: How the mitochondrial proteome is being used to discover the genetic basis of respiratory chain disorders as well as to expand the definition of mitochondrial disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How many human proteoforms are there

Ruedi Aebersold, +53 more
TL;DR: This work frames central issues regarding determination of protein-level variation and PTMs, including some paradoxes present in the field today, and uses this framework to assess existing data and ask the question, "How many distinct primary structures of proteins (proteoforms) are created from the 20,300 human genes?"
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Inherited Variation in Mitochondrial Genes Is Not Enriched for Associations with Type 2 Diabetes or Related Glycemic Traits

TL;DR: The results suggest that common variants affecting nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes have at most a small genetic contribution to T2D susceptibility.
