Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is an evolutionarily conserved destructive process that permeabilizes the inner mitochondrial membrane in response to calcium overload. The molecular mechanism underlying the mPT is not established. To unambiguously identify essential proteins, we designed two phenotypic assays for mitochondrial calcium overload and applied them to FACS-based CRISPR screening in...
