(A) A view of holocomplex parallel to the membrane. MCU and EMRE are shown as cartoon representations and colored in gold and orange, respectively. The MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer is shown as a molecular surface and colored according to electrostatic potential (light gray regions are neutral; red, −4 kT e1; blue, +4 kT e−1). A hypothetical model of the acidic C-terminal tail of EMRE1 is drawn as a red line and docked on a positive-charged surface on MICU1 (dashed oval). For clarity, the matrix domains of MCU are omitted.

Sequence alignment of MICU1 proteins.

The amino acid sequences of human, M. musculus, D. rerio, T. castaneum, C. elegans, A. thaliana, and D. discoideum MICU1 proteins are aligned and coloured according to the ClustalW convention (UniProt accession numbers: Q9BPX6, Q8VCX5, A4IG32, D6WJK2, Q95PZ2, Q9SZ45 and Q54JS1, respectively). Secondary structures are indicated with cylinders representing α-helices, arrows representing beta sheets, solid gray lines representing structured loops, and dashed gray lines representing disordered regions.

Figure 3—figure supplement 4
Locations of MICU1 residues that were previously proposed to interact with the channel.

A portion of the holocomplex is shown from the side. MCU, EMRE, MICU1 and MICU2 are shown as cartoons in transparent surfaces and colored in gold, orange, green and blue, respectively. Ca2+ in the ‘E’ ring of the selectivity filter is depicted as a purple sphere. MICU1-Lys 126 and MICU1-Arg 129 are shown as gray sticks. A portion of the mitochondrial inner membrane is depicted as transparent gray bar. Basic residues of MICU1 that have been proposed on the basis of previous studies to interact with MCU are drawn as red sticks (Paillard et al., 2018Phillips et al., 2019). Amino acids that coordinate these are drawn as green sticks, with hydrogen bonds indicated by dashed lines. Although the proposed residues don’t interact with MCU or EMRE, one can imagine how their mutation could disrupt the structure of the UID and its binding to the channel. MICU1-Arg 119 and MICU1-Arg 154, which were proposed to interact with MCU-Asp 261 on the basis of one study (Phillips et al., 2019), contribute to stabilization of the UID but do not coordinate MCU or EMRE directly. MICU1-Arg 440 and MICU1-Arg 443, which were proposed to interact with MCU on the basis of another study (Paillard et al., 2018). These residues are located within the C-lobe of MICU1, approximately 25 Å from the pore, where they form hydrogen bonds with MICU1-Glu 311 from the N-lobe; their mutation would be expected to destabilize the overall structure of MICU1.

The Nav1.2 channel is colored gold and μ-conotoxin KIIIA is green; both are shown as cartoon representations. The pore (a semitransparent gray surface) is depicted as the minimal radial distance from its center to the nearest van der Waals protein contact. Lys 7 and Arg 10 residues of μ-conotoxin KIIIA (green sticks) coordinate two of four similarly positioned acidic amino acids at the mouth of the selectivity filter (red sticks). (C) Pore dimensions of Nav1.2 with and without μ-conotoxin KIIIA (red and blue, respectively). A dashed line indicates the radius of a hydrated Na+ ion.

The MICU1-MICU2 regulatory complex binds to liposomes in both Ca2+ and Ca2+-free conditions.

Following ultracentrifugation of purified MICU1-MICU2 in the presence or absence of liposomes, and with and without Ca2+, pellets were resuspended and analyzed by Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE. MICU1-MICU2 pellets with liposomes but remains in the supernatant when liposomes are not present (buffer). GFP is used as a control that does not associate with liposomes. Refer to Methods for details.

Flowchart of the cryo-EM data processing of the Ca2+-bound MICU1-MICU2 complex.

(A) Flowchart of data processing and 3D reconstruction. (B) Representative 2D class averages. An asterisk denotes a class containing two MICU1-MICU2 assemblies (representing ~3% of particles). (C) A 2D projection of a dimer of MICU1-MICU2 heterodimers from the cryo-EM map of the human holocomplex under high [Ca2+] conditions (EMD-21643). The channel (MCU/EMRE) densities were removed for the projection. MICU2:MICU2 interfaces mediate a dimerization of MICU1-MICU2 heterodimers in that structure (Fan et al., 2020). The projection resembles the 2D class from (B) with two MICU1-MICU2 heterodimers (asterisk), which suggests, but does not prove, that a MICU2:MICU2 interface mediates the dimerization of MICU1-MICU2 heterodimers in a fraction of our cryo-EM data.

Figure 5 with 3 supplements
Proposed mechanism of Ca2+-dependent control.

Left, structure of the holocomplex under resting [Ca2+]IMS conditions. MCU and EMRE are depicted with cylindrical helices; MICU1 and MICU2 are represented as semitransparent surfaces, with α1 and α2 helices of the UID as ribbons. The lipid membrane (gray) is based upon an atomistic model (Figure 5—figure supplement 1) . The UID blocks the pore (gray tube). Following elevation of [Ca2+]IMS, Ca2+ binding causes the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer to bend (the Ca2+-bound MICU1-MICU2 structure is depicted with the channel in the center and right panels). The center panel indicates that bending would dislodge the UID from its receptor site in order to avoid thermodynamically unfavorable interactions of MICU2 with the membrane (‘X’). The dislodged Ca2+-bound MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer would no longer block the pore, thereby allowing Ca2+ permeation through the channel, and it would be free to interact with the membrane (right). Upon the return of resting [Ca2+], the heterodimer would resume its blocking conformation (left). One MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer is depicted and only one can bind to the receptor on the channel at a time but multiple MICU1-MICU2 heterodimers may be associated with the channel. A brown line depicts a hypothetical interaction of the acidic C-terminus of EMRE with MICU1.

Figure 5—figure supplement 1
Atomistic model of the resting holocomplex in a lipid bilayer.

The holocomplex was modeled into a DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) lipid bilayer, using CHARMM-GUI (http://www.charmm-gui.org/). MCU, EMRE, MICU1 and MICU2 are shown as cartoons. DPPC molecules are shown as transparent sticks.

Figure 5—figure supplement 2
Model of a dimeric human MCU-EMRE-MICU1-MICU2 complex under resting [Ca2+] conditions.

The complex was modeled based on holocomplex and the dimeric human MCU-EMRE complex (PDB:6O58). MCU, EMRE, MICU1 and MICU2 are shown as cartoons with transparent molecular surfaces and colored gold, orange, green and blue, respectively. A curved mitochondrial inner membrane is depicted as a transparent gray arc. Dimerization of channels is due to the NTDs of human MCU. As shown, MICU1-MICU2 regulatory complexes could bind to both channels of the dimer without sterically interfering.

Comparisons of the TcMCU-EMRE-MICU1-MICU2 holocomplex structure with structures of human MCU-EMRE-MICU1-MICU2 holocomplexes.

(A–B) Low [Ca2+] structures. (A) TcMCU-EMRE-MICU1-MICU2 holocomplex structure reported here. (B) Holocomplex containing human MCU, EMRE, MICU1, and MICU2 subunits (PDB # GWDN). An ordered loop of MICU1 (amino acids 258–274) is indicated, as are the C-helices of MICU1 and MICU2, which are also ordered in that structure. (C) Structure of a holocomplex comprising human MCU, EMRE, MICU1, and MICU2 that was determined at high (2 mM) [Ca2+] (PDB # GWDO). A dimer of channels present in the cryo-EM sample is formed by interactions between the NTDs. For each channel, a Ca2+-bound MICU1-MICU2 regulatory complex is located adjacent to the pore and no longer occludes it.
