Emr1 regulates the number of foci of the endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria encounter structure complex

Interorganelle membrane contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria can be mediated with the ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) complex, though precise regulation is unclear. Here, the authors report that the number of ERMES foci is regulated by the previously uncharact...

description Interorganelle membrane contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria can be mediated with the ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) complex, though precise regulation is unclear. Here, the authors report that the number of ERMES foci is regulated by the previously uncharacterized mitochondrial membrane protein Emr1.
