    Description: Mitochondria from diverse organisms are capable of transporting large amounts of Ca(2+) via a ruthenium-red-sensitive, membrane-potential-dependent mechanism called the uniporter. Although the uniporter's biophysical properties have been studied extensively, its molecular composition remains elusive. We recently used comparative proteomics to identify MICU1 (also known as CBARA1), an EF-hand-containing protein that serves as a putative regulator of the uniporter. Here, we use whole-genome phylogenetic profiling, genome-wide RNA co-expression analysis and organelle-wide protein coexpression analysis to predict proteins functionally related to MICU1. All three methods converge on a novel predicted transmembrane protein, CCDC109A, that we now call 'mitochondrial calcium uniporter' (MCU). MCU forms oligomers in the mitochondrial inner membrane, physically interacts with MICU1, and resides within a large molecular weight complex. Silencing MCU in cultured cells or in vivo in mouse liver severely abrogates mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, whereas mitochondrial respiration and membrane potential remain fully intact. MCU has two predicted transmembrane helices, which are separated by a highly conserved linker facing the intermembrane space. Acidic residues in this linker are required for its full activity. However, an S259A point mutation retains function but confers resistance to Ru360, the most potent inhibitor of the uniporter. Our genomic, physiological, biochemical and pharmacological data firmly establish MCU as an essential component of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3486726/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3486726/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Baughman, Joshua M -- Perocchi, Fabiana -- Girgis, Hany S -- Plovanich, Molly -- Belcher-Timme, Casey A -- Sancak, Yasemin -- Bao, X Robert -- Strittmatter, Laura -- Goldberger, Olga -- Bogorad, Roman L -- Koteliansky, Victor -- Mootha, Vamsi K -- DK080261/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM0077465/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM077465/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM077465-01A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R24 DK080261/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jun 19;476(7360):341-5. doi: 10.1038/nature10234.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21685886" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mitochondrial uniporter is a highly selective calcium channel in the organelle's inner membrane. Its molecular components include the EF-hand-containing calcium-binding proteins mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) and MICU2 and the pore-forming subunit mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU). We sought to achieve a full molecular characterization of the uniporter holocomplex (uniplex). Quantitative mass spectrometry of affinity-purified uniplex recovered MICU1 and MICU2, MCU and its paralog MCUb, and essential MCU regulator (EMRE), a previously uncharacterized protein. EMRE is a 10-kilodalton, metazoan-specific protein with a single transmembrane domain. In its absence, uniporter channel activity was lost despite intact MCU expression and oligomerization. EMRE was required for the interaction of MCU with MICU1 and MICU2. Hence, EMRE is essential for in vivo uniporter current and additionally bridges the calcium-sensing role of MICU1 and MICU2 with the calcium-conducting role of MCU.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4091629/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4091629/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sancak, Yasemin -- Markhard, Andrew L -- Kitami, Toshimori -- Kovacs-Bogdan, Erika -- Kamer, Kimberli J -- Udeshi, Namrata D -- Carr, Steven A -- Chaudhuri, Dipayan -- Clapham, David E -- Li, Andrew A -- Calvo, Sarah E -- Goldberger, Olga -- Mootha, Vamsi K -- DK080261/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F32 HL107021/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- F32HL107021/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 HD018655/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R24 DK080261/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Dec 13;342(6164):1379-82. doi: 10.1126/science.1242993.

    Description: Defects in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) underlie a spectrum of human conditions, ranging from devastating inborn errors of metabolism to aging. We performed a genome-wide Cas9-mediated screen to identify factors that are protective during RC inhibition. Our results highlight the hypoxia response, an endogenous program evolved to adapt to limited oxygen availability. Genetic or small-molecule activation of the hypoxia response is protective against mitochondrial toxicity in cultured cells and zebrafish models. Chronic hypoxia leads to a marked improvement in survival, body weight, body temperature, behavior, neuropathology, and disease biomarkers in a genetic mouse model of Leigh syndrome, the most common pediatric manifestation of mitochondrial disease. Further preclinical studies are required to assess whether hypoxic exposure can be developed into a safe and effective treatment for human diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4860742/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4860742/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jain, Isha H -- Zazzeron, Luca -- Goli, Rahul -- Alexa, Kristen -- Schatzman-Bone, Stephanie -- Dhillon, Harveen -- Goldberger, Olga -- Peng, Jun -- Shalem, Ophir -- Sanjana, Neville E -- Zhang, Feng -- Goessling, Wolfram -- Zapol, Warren M -- Mootha, Vamsi K -- 1R01-MH110049/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- 5DP1-MH100706/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/ -- 5R01DK097768-03/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DP1 MH100706/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- K99 HG008171/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- K99-HG008171/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK090311/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK097768/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH110049/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01DK090311/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R24 OD017870/OD/NIH HHS/ -- R24OD017870/OD/NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Apr 1;352(6281):54-61. doi: 10.1126/science.aad9642.

    Description: Highly multiplexed assays using antibody coated, fluorescent (xMap) beads are widely used to measure quantities of soluble analytes, such as cytokines and antibodies in clinical and other studies. Current analyses of these assays use methods based on standard curves that have limitations in detecting low or high abundance analytes. Here we describe SAxCyB (Significance Analysis of xMap Cytokine Beads), a method that uses fluorescence measurements of individual beads to find significant differences between experimental conditions. We show that SAxCyB outperforms conventional analysis schemes in both sensitivity (low fluorescence) and robustness (high variability) and has enabled us to find many new differentially expressed cytokines in published studies.

    Description: Antigen-specific CD4+ T cells are implicated in the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but little is known about the peptide antigens that they recognize and their precise function in disease. We generated a series of MHC class II tetramers of I-Ek–containing peptides from the spliceosomal protein U1-70 that specifically...
