Phylogenetic analysis reveals the evolution of the mitochondrial calcium transporter – Phys.org

Calcium levels regulate multiple processes in cells, ranging from metabolism to division. And these levels are regulated, in turn, by calcium transport into and out of mitochondria, the energy hub of the cell. The regulation of calcium levels is, therefore, a recurring topic of study, with important implications in biomedicine. In this context, fungi are often the model organisms of choice to study this system.
The Comparative Genomics Laboratory of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IR…
