Description
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.
