Interactions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria (Mito) are crucial for many cellular functions, and their interaction levels change dynamically depending on the cellular environment. Little is known about how the interactions between these organelles are regulated within the cell. Here we screened a compound library to identify chemical modulators for ER-Mito contacts. Multiple agonists of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), beta-adrenergic receptors ({beta}-ARs) in particular, scored in this screen. Analyses in multiple orthogonal assays validated that GPCR activation promotes physical and functional interactions between the two organelles. Furthermore, we have elucidated potential downstream effectors mediating GPCR-induced ER-Mito contacts. Given the role of GPCRs in sensing various extracellular signals and subsequently eliciting appropriate cellular responses, our data provide significant insights into the roles of ER-Mito contacts in maintaining cellular homeostasis and in responding to physiological demands or stresses.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
