Abstract excerpt
Ca(2+) uptake into mitochondria plays a central role in cell physiology by stimulating ATP production, shaping cytosolic Ca(2+) transients and regulating cell survival or death. Although this system has been studied extensively in mammalian cells, the physiological implications of Ca(2+) uptake into mitochondria in fungal cells are still unknown. In this study, a bi-directional best-hit BLASTP search revealed...
