Mitochondrial cristae membranes are the oxidative phosphorylation sites in cells. Crista junctions (CJs) form highly curved neck regions of and thought to function as selective entry gates into space. Little is known about how CJs generated maintained. We show that central coiled-coil (CC) domain mitochondrial contact site organizing system subunit Mic60 forms an elongated, bow tie–shaped tetrameric assembly. Mic19 promotes tetramerization via a conserved interface between mitofilin CHCH...
