In recent years, rapid discoveries have been made relating to Ca 2+ handling at specific
organelles that have important implications for whole-cell Ca 2+ homeostasis. In particular,
the structures of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca 2+ channels revealed by electron
cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), continuous updates on the structure, regulation, and role of the
mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex, and the analysis of lysosomal Ca 2+
signaling are milestones on the route towards a deeper comprehension of the complexity of …
In recent years, rapid discoveries have been made relating to Ca2+ handling at specific organelles that have important implications for whole-cell Ca2+ homeostasis. In particular, the structures of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ channels revealed by electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), continuous updates on the structure, regulation, and role of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex, and the analysis of lysosomal Ca2+ signaling are milestones on the route towards a deeper comprehension of the complexity of global Ca2+ signaling. In this review we summarize recent discoveries on the regulation of interorganellar Ca2+ homeostasis and its role in pathophysiology.
