Mitochondria in skeletal muscle have distinct localization and properties through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors use complexome profiling and immunoprecipitations to identify PERM1 as a MICOS-MIB complex interactor that also binds ankyrin B, suggesting PERM1 directs the mitochondria to the membrane.
