physiological function | loss of the SPG7 gene increased resistance to Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. This occurs independently of cyclophilin D (cyclosporine A insensitive) but rather it is through decreased mitochondrial Ca2+ concentrations and subsequent adaptations mediated by impaired formation of functional mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter complexes. SPG7 directs the m-AAA complex to favor association with the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter, and mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter processing regulates higher order mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter-complex formation | Homo sapiens |
