Function
Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) that senses calcium level via its EF-hand domains (PubMed:20693986, PubMed:23101630, PubMed:23747253, PubMed:24313810, PubMed:24332854, PubMed:24503055, PubMed:24560927, PubMed:26341627, PubMed:26903221, PubMed:27099988). MICU1 and MICU2 form a disulfide-linked heterodimer that stimulates and inhibits MCU activity, depending on the concentration of calcium. MICU1 acts both as an activator or inhibitor of mitochondrial calcium uptake (PubMed:26903221). Acts as a gatekeeper of MCU at low concentration of calcium, preventing channel opening (PubMed:26903221). Enhances MCU opening at high calcium concentration, allowing a rapid response of mitochondria to calcium signals generated in the cytoplasm (PubMed:24560927, PubMed:26903221). Regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells by regulating mitochondrial calcium uptake (PubMed:22904319). Induces T-helper 1-mediated autoreactivity, which is accompanied by the release of IFNG (PubMed:16002733).

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
MICU1 also known as "Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake 1" is a regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) activity. It has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. MICU1 resides mainly in the mitochondria where it is involved in controlling calcium ion flow across the mitochondrial membranes. This calcium regulation is important for cellular energy production and metabolism. The expression of MICU1 is seen in various tissues with significant presence in those requiring high energy such as the heart brain and skeletal muscles.
- Biological function summary
By regulating calcium uptake into mitochondria MICU1 protects cells from calcium overload and mitochondrial damage. This protein is part of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex which includes other proteins such as MCU MICU2 and EMRE. The complex functions to maintain calcium homeostasis playing a role in cellular metabolism and ATP production. The balanced uptake of calcium by MICU1-mediated mechanisms supports proper mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species handling.
- Pathways
The role of MICU1 is significant in calcium signaling and metabolic pathways. It interacts with the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex (MCUC) to regulate calcium influx impacting cellular metabolism and energy production. Through these pathways MICU1 relates closely to other proteins such as MICU2 and MCU ensuring that cells respond to environmental and metabolic cues. MICU1's modulation of calcium levels also ties it to pathways involved in apoptosis and cell survival.
- Associated diseases and disorders
MICU1 disruptions associate with neuromuscular diseases and metabolic disorders. Altered MICU1 function can lead to issues such as muscular dystrophy and cognitive impairments due to ineffective calcium regulation in mitochondria. The interplay of MICU1 with MCU can affect cellular energy status and contribute to the pathology of these diseases. Understanding MICU1 and its pathway interactions is essential for exploring therapeutic strategies for related disorders.
