Abstrakt: Mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake into the mitochondrial matrix is a well-established mechanism. However, the sub-organellar Ca 2+ kinetics remain elusive. In the present work we identified novel site-specific targeting sequences for the intermembrane space (IMS) and the cristae lumen (CL). We used these novel targeting peptides to develop green- and red- Ca 2+ biosensors targeted to the IMS and to the CL. Based on their distinctive spectral properties, and comparable sensitivities these novel constructs were suitable to visualize Ca 2+ -levels in various (sub) compartments in a multi-chromatic manner. Functional studies that applied these new biosensors revealed that knockdown of MCU and EMRE yielded elevated Ca 2+ levels inside the CL but not the IMS in response to IP 3 -generating agonists. Knockdown of VDAC1, however, strongly impeded the transfer of Ca 2+ through the OMM while the cytosolic Ca 2+ signal remained unchanged. The novel sub-mitochondrially targeted Ca 2+ biosensors proved to be suitable for Ca 2+ imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution in a multi-chromatic manner allowing simultaneous measurements. These informative biosensors will facilitate efforts to dissect the complex sub-mitochondrial Ca 2+ signaling under (patho)physiological conditions.
