“…It has long been thought that the biological function of IF1 was restricted to conditions of respiratory collapse. Recent studies have, however, uncovered important physiological roles for IF1 under respiring conditions, including, but not restricted to, the regulation of oxidative stress [ 6 ], Ca 2+ handling [ 7 ], cristae formation [ 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], glucose metabolism [ 10 , 11 ], and neuronal development [ 12 , 13 ]. While the role of binding to ATP synthase in these processes is disputed, there is general consensus that many of these non-canonical roles of IF1 are governed by mitochondrial-to-nuclear signaling [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 14 ].…”
