Abstract

Abstract The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m ) is the main driver of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), consisting of cristae and inner boundary membranes (IBM), is considered to carry a uniform ΔΨ m . However, sequestration of OXPHOS components in cristae membranes necessitates a re‐examination of the equipotential representation of the IMM. We developed an approach to monitor ΔΨ m at the resolution of individual cristae. We found that the IMM was divided into segments with distinct ΔΨ m , corresponding to cristae and IBM. ΔΨ m was higher at cristae compared to IBM. Treatment with oligomycin increased, whereas FCCP decreased, ΔΨ m heterogeneity along the IMM. Impairment of cristae structure through deletion of MICOS‐complex components or Opa1 diminished this intramitochondrial heterogeneity of ΔΨ m . Lastly, we determined that different cristae within the individual mitochondrion can have disparate membrane potentials and that interventions causing acute depolarization may affect some cristae while sparing others. Altogether, our data support a new model in which cristae within the same mitochondrion behave as independent bioenergetic units, preventing the failure of specific cristae from spreading dysfunction to the rest.

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.
