of the Mia40-Induced MICU1-MICU2 Dimer from MCU Regulates Mitochondrial Ca 2+ Uptake
2015
SUMMARY The essential oxidoreductase Mia40/CHCHD4 mediates disulfide bond formation and protein folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Here, we investigated the interactome of Mia40 thereby revealinglinksbetweenthiol-oxidationandapoptosis, energy metabolism, and Ca 2+ signaling. Among the interaction partners of Mia40 is MICU1—the regulator of the mitochondrial Ca 2+ uniporter (MCU), which transfers Ca 2+ across the inner membrane. We examined the biogenesis of MICU1 and find that Mia40 introduces an intermolecular disulfide bond that links MICU1 and its inhibitory paralog MICU2 in a heterodimer. Absence of this disulfide bond results in increased receptor-induced mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake. In the presence of the disulfide bond, MICU1MICU2 heterodimer binding to MCU is controlled by Ca 2+ levels: the dimer associates with MCU at lowlevelsofCa 2+ anddissociatesuponhighCa 2+ concentrations. Our findings support a model in which mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake is regulated by a Ca 2+ dependent remodeling of the uniporter complex.
