Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Letter Description
The regulation of ATP production by mitochondria, crucial for multicellular life, is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the molecular controls of this process in the heart and provide a framework for its Ca-dependent regulation. We find that the entry of Ca into the matrix through the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in the heart has neither an apparent cytosolic Ca threshold nor a gating function, and guides ATP production by its influence on the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) potential, ΔΨ. This regulation occurs through matrix Ca-dependent modulation of pyruvate and glutamate dehydrogenase activity and not through any effect of Ca on ATP synthase or on electron transport chain complexes II, III or IV. Examining the ΔΨ dependence of ATP production over the range of −60 mV to −170 mV in detail reveals that cardiac ATP synthase has a voltage dependence that distinguishes it fundamentally from the previous standard, the bacterial ATP synthase. Cardiac ATP synthase operates with a different ΔΨ threshold for ATP production than bacterial ATP synthase and reveals a concave-upward shape without saturation. Skeletal muscle MCU Ca flux, while also having no apparent cytosolic Ca threshold, is substantially different from the cardiac MCU, yet the ATP synthase voltage dependence in skeletal muscle is identical to that in the heart. These results suggest that, while the conduction of cytosolic Ca signals through the MCU appears to be tissue dependent, as shown by earlier work, the control of ATP synthase by ΔΨ appears to be broadly consistent among tissues but is clearly different from that in bacteria.
