Elevated Intracellular Ca2+ Alters Mitochondrial Protein Import and the Accumulation of Intramitochondrial Proteins in Neurons

Most (99%) mitochondrial proteins are nuclear-encoded and must be imported into mitochondria. Deficits in mitochondrial protein import (MPI) affect mitochondrial function and can cause neurodegenerative diseases. I hypothesized that MPI was regulated by iCa2+. In differentiated PC12 cells, treatment...
