Abstract
Background: The Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release channel (mCrC) of Drosophila mitochondria is similar to the permeability transition pore (PTP). Results: mCrC is modulated by PTP effectors and Drosophila F-ATPase forms 53-pS channels. Conclusion: F-ATPase mediates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in Drosophila mitochondria. Significance: Channel formation by F-ATPases has been conserved in evolution, but species-specific features exist that may underscore different roles in different organisms.
