Abstract

Summary Mitochondria-associated ER membranes or MAMs define the sites of endoplasmic reticulum/mitochondria juxtaposition that control Ca2+ flux between these organelles. We found that in a mouse model of the human lysosomal storage disease GM1-gangliosidosis, GM1-ganglioside accumulates in the glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) fractions of MAMs, where it interacts with the phosphorylated form of IP3 receptor-1, influencing the activity of this channel. Ca2+ depleted from the ER is then taken up by the mitochondria, leading to Ca2+ overload in this organelle. The latter induces mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP), opening of the permeability transition pore and activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. This study identifies the GEMs as the sites of Ca2+ diffusion between the ER and the mitochondria. We propose a new mechanism of Ca2+-mediated apoptotic signalling, whereby GM1 accumulation at the GEMs alters Ca2+ dynamics and acts as a molecular effector of both ER stress–induced and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis of neuronal cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
