MICU1 and MICU2 Play an Essential Role in Mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> Uptake, Growth, and Infectivity of the Human Pathogen <named-content content-type="genus-species">Trypanosoma cruzi</named-content>
ABSTRACT The mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in trypanosomatids, which belong to the eukaryotic supergroup Excavata, shares biochemical characteristics with that of animals, which, together with fungi, belong to the supergroup Opisthokonta. However, the composition of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (...
