Summary: | Mg
is the most abundant divalent cation in metazoans and an essential cofactor for ATP, nucleic acids, and countless metabolic enzymes. To understand how the spatio-temporal dynamics of intracellular Mg
(
Mg
) are integrated into cellular signaling, we implemented a comprehensive screen to discover regulators of
Mg
dynamics. Lactate emerged as an activator of rapid release of Mg
from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores, which facilitates mitochondrial Mg
(
Mg
) uptake in multiple cell types. We demonstrate that this process is remarkably temperature sensitive and mediated through intracellular but not extracellular signals. The ER-mitochondrial Mg
dynamics is selectively stimulated by L-lactate. Further, we show that lactate-mediated
Mg
entry is facilitated by Mrs2, and point mutations in the intermembrane space loop limits
Mg
uptake. Intriguingly, suppression of
Mg
surge alleviates inflammation-induced multi-organ failure. Together, these findings reveal that lactate mobilizes
Mg
and links the
Mg
transport machinery with major metabolic feedback circuits and mitochondrial bioenergetics. |
