Abstract
The mitochondrial inner membrane consists of the inner boundary membrane and invaginations called cristae, which differ in protein composition and likely have distinct functions. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Wolf et al (2019) report that the cristae carry a higher membrane potential than the intervening boundary membranes. Their data suggest electro-chemical discontinuity among segments of the inner membrane, implying that individual cristae may operate with some degree of independence.Mesh:
