Variable Assembly of EMRE and MCU Creates Functional Channels with Distinct Gatekeeping Profiles

Summary: MCU is a Ca2+-selective channel that mediates mitochondrial Ca2+ influx. The human channel contains tetrameric pore-forming MCU, regulatory subunits MICU1/2, and EMRE that is required both for channel function and MICU1/2-mediated Ca2+ regulation. A structure of MCU with EMRE revealed a 4:4...
