TLDR
The results reveal that the orchestrated ER chaperone machinery at MAM, by sensing ER Ca(2+) concentrations, regulates ER-mitochondrial interorganellar Ca( 2+) signaling and cell survival.

Physiology of Microglia

TL;DR: Current studies indicate that even in the normal brain, microglia have highly motile processes by which they scan their territorial domains, and microglial cells are considered the most susceptible sensors of brain pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagosomes form at ER–mitochondria contact sites

TL;DR: It is shown that autophagosomes form at the ER–mitochondria contact site in mammalian cells, and new insight is provided into organelle biogenesis by demonstrating that the ER-resident SNARE protein syntaxin 17 (STX17) binds ATG14 and recruits it to the ER—mitochondia contact site.

Mitochondria as sensors and regulators of calcium signalling

TL;DR: During the past two decades calcium (Ca2+) accumulation in energized mitochondria has emerged as a biological process of utmost physiological relevance, opening new perspectives for investigation and molecular intervention.

An ER-Mitochondria Tethering Complex Revealed by a Synthetic Biology Screen

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the Mmm1/Mdm10/mdm12/mdr34 complex as a molecular tether between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium and apoptosis: ER-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer in the control of apoptosis

TL;DR: The evidence linking calcium homeostasis to the regulation of apoptotic, and more recently autophagic cell death is reviewed, as well as the discussion of mitochondria as a critical, although not unique checkpoint, and the molecular and functional elucidation of ER/mitochondria contacts.

The mammalian unfolded protein response

TL;DR: In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), secretory and transmembrane proteins fold into their native conformation and undergo posttranslational modifications important for their activity and structure as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter is a highly selective ion channel

TL;DR: By patch-clamping the inner mitochondrial membrane, it is concluded that the properties of the current mediated by this novel channel are those of the MCU, enabling high Ca2+ selectivity despite relatively low cytoplasmic Ca 2+ concentrations.

Orchestrating the unfolded protein response in health and disease

TL;DR: As the authors gain a greater understanding of the mechanisms that control UPR activation, it should be possible to discover methods to activate or inhibit the UPR as desired for therapeutic benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria and calcium: from cell signalling to cell death

TL;DR: Accumulation of Ca2+ into mitochondria regulates mitochondrial metabolism and causes a transient depolarisation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and alteration of spatiotemporal characteristics of cellular [Ca2+]c signalling and downregulates mitochondrial metabolism.

Chaperone-mediated coupling of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial Ca2+ channels.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that VDAC1 is physically linked to the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-release channel inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) through the molecular chaperone glucose-regulated protein 75 (grp75) and functional interaction between the channels was shown by the recombinant expression of the ligand-binding domain of the IP3R on the ER or mitochondrial surface.
