A mitochondrial megachannel resides in monomeric F1FO ATP synthase
The ATP synthase has been suggested to contain the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), which has a crucial role in cell death. Here the authors show that reconstituted ATP synthase monomers form voltage-gated and Ca2+ -activated channels with the key features of mPTP.
