MICU1 controls spatial membrane potential gradients and guides Ca2+ fluxes within mitochondrial substructures

Within mitochondrial substructures, MICU1 is shown to mediate Ca2+ control over spatial membrane potential gradients (SMPGs), with alterations in SMPGs following Ca2+ binding to MICU1 resulting in spatial cristae depolarization.
