Figure Lengend Snippet: TER limits the Ca 2+ content in the ER lumen. A , increase of the ER Ca 2+ content by TER depletion. siControl or siTER (#1 or #2) was transfected into HEK293 cells. After 72 h, the cells were subjected to the following experiments. The whole-cell lysates were subjected to Western blotting with anti-TER pAb, anti-SERCA2b mAb, or anti-β-actin mAb. The cells were loaded with a cytosolic Ca 2+ indicator dye, Fluo-4, and then incubated in a Ca 2+ -free buffer supplemented with 0.5 mM EGTA. The Ca 2+ in the ER lumen was released by adding 1 μM Tg (time = 0 s), and the Fluo-4 fluorescence was measured every 5 s for 10 min. The changes in fluorescence values relative to baseline (ΔF/F 0 ) were plotted as a function of time. The areas under the curves, which were normalized to the siControl values, were shown in a bar graph. Data represent the mean ± SEM in the traces, or the mean ± SD with data points plotted in the bar graph, from four independent experiments. B , rescue of the siTER #1 effects by reconstituting TER expression. The indicated siRNA and plasmid were transfected into HEK293 cells. After 72 h, the cells were subjected to the subsequent experiments as in panel A . The whole-cell lysates were subjected to Western blotting with anti-TER pAb, anti-FLAG mAb, or anti-β-actin mAb.

Article Title: MFSD7C switches mitochondrial ATP synthesis to thermogenesis in response to heme

doi: 10.1038/s41467-020-18607-1

Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b Proposed models of MFSD7C regulation of mitochondrial respiration in response to heme, with MFSD7C residing in the inner ( a ) or the outer ( b ) mitochondrial membrane. When heme level is low, MFSD7C interacts with ETC components and SERCA2b, leading to SERCA2b ubiquitination and degradation and coupled mitochondrial respiration: increased ATP synthesis and reduced thermogenesis. When heme level is high, heme binding to the NTD of MFSD7C disrupts its interactions with ETC components and SERCA2b, leading to SERCA2b stabilization and uncoupled mitochondrial respiration: increased thermogenesis and reduced ATP synthesis.
