Discoveries

2010

Journal of Cell Biology

  • STIM1 as a ROS sensor besides its canonical ER Ca2+ sensing role

2012 & 2013

Nature Cell Biology 2012
Highlights Nature Reviews
Molecular Cell Biology

  • Demonstrated that a mitochondrial resident transmembrane protein Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter Regulator 1 (MCUR1) is essential for Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter (MCU)-mediated mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake.

Cell 2012 and Cell Reports 2013

  • Identified the molecular component (Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uptake 1; MICU1) that controls mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake “set-point” a concept known over thirty years (Cell 2012 and Cell Reports 2013).

2015

Molecular Cell 2015

  • Cell Reports- revealed that loss of MCU resulted in cell survival against hypoxia
  • Molecular Cell- Identified a necessary and conserved role of spastic paraplegia 7 (SPG7). Our studies demonstrated that the IMM resident SPG7 promotes PTP opening, and the regulatory component CypD interacts with and activate SPG7 to induce death following Ca2+ and oxidative stress (Molecular Cell 2015)

Science Signaling 2015

  • Dysregulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake have been linked to numerous cellular dysfunction including chronic oxidative burden, autophagy and sensitization for cell death (Science Signaling 2015).

2016

Cell Reports 2016

  • Deletion of MCU in vasculature offered perturbation of cell proliferation and migration.

Cell Chemical Biology 2016

  • Our collaborative effort provided the first structural insights into the regulation of MCU and avenues to the development of MCU blockers that control the cell death.
  • Demonstrated that a mitochondrial resident transmembrane protein Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter Regulator 1 (MCUR1) is essential for Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter (MCU)-mediated mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake

2017

Molecular Cell 2017 (preview)
Nature 2017 

  • Collaborative effort revealed the role of mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in Ca2+ homeostasis and cell viability
  • Our discovery reveals for the first time the bifunctional role for MCU as an ion channel and mitochondrial ROS sensor.
