== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MCU_HUMAN MCU_HUMAN] Mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondria. Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates cell bioenergetics, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways. Activity is regulated by MICU1 and MICU2 that stimulate and inhibit MCU activity, respectively. Regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells by regulating mitochondrial calcium uptake. Involved in buffering the amplitude of systolic calcium rises in cardiomyocytes.<ref>PMID:21685886</ref> <ref>PMID:21685888</ref> <ref>PMID:22822213</ref> <ref>PMID:22829870</ref> <ref>PMID:22904319</ref> <ref>PMID:23101630</ref> <ref>PMID:23178883</ref> <ref>PMID:24332854</ref> <ref>PMID:24560927</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Calcium (Ca2+) flux into the matrix is tightly controlled by the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) due to vital roles in cell death and bioenergetics. However, the precise atomic mechanisms of MCU regulation remain unclear. Here, we solved the crystal structure of the N-terminal matrix domain of human MCU, revealing a beta-grasp-like fold with a cluster of negatively charged residues that interacts with divalent cations. Binding of Ca2+ or Mg2+ destabilizes and shifts the self-association equilibrium of the domain toward monomer. Mutational disruption of the acidic face weakens oligomerization of the isolated matrix domain and full-length human protein similar to cation binding and markedly decreases MCU activity. Moreover, mitochondrial Mg2+ loading or blockade of mitochondrial Ca2+ extrusion suppresses MCU Ca2+-uptake rates. Collectively, our data reveal that the beta-grasp-like matrix region harbors an MCU-regulating acidic patch that inhibits human MCU activity in response to Mg2+ and Ca2+ binding.
