Sumo1 Conjugates Mitochondrial Substrates and Participates in Mitochondrial Fission
Mitochondrial fission requires the evolutionarily conserved dynamin related protein (DRP1), which is recruited from the cytosol to the mitochondrial outer membrane to coordinate membrane scission. Currently, the mechanism of recruitment and assembly of DRP1 on the mitochondria is unclear. Here, we identify Ubc9 and Sumo1 as specific DRP1-interacting proteins and demonstrate that DRP1 is a Sumo1...
متن کاملMitochondrial fission and fusion.
Mitochondria are highly dynamic cellular organelles, with the ability to change size, shape and position over the course of a few seconds. Many of these changes are related to the ability of mitochondria to undergo the highly co-ordinated processes of fission (division of a single organelle into two or more independent structures) or fusion (the opposing reaction). These actions occur simultane...
متن کاملMitochondrial fusion and fission in mammals.
Eukaryotic cells maintain the overall shape of their mitochondria by balancing the opposing processes of mitochondrial fusion and fission. Unbalanced fission leads to mitochondrial fragmentation, and unbalanced fusion leads to mitochondrial elongation. Moreover, these processes control not only the shape but also the function of mitochondria. Mitochondrial dynamics allows mitochondria to intera...
متن کاملMechanical force induces mitochondrial fission
Eukaryotic cells are densely packed with macromolecular complexes and intertwining organelles, continually transported and reshaped. Intriguingly, organelles avoid clashing and entangling with each other in such limited space. Mitochondria form extensive networks constantly remodeled by fission and fusion. Here, we show that mitochondrial fission is triggered by mechanical forces. Mechano-stimu...
متن کاملPreventing Mitochondrial Fission Impairs Mitochondrial Function and Leads to Loss of Mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondria form a highly dynamic tubular network, the morphology of which is regulated by frequent fission and fusion events. However, the role of mitochondrial fission in homeostasis of the organelle is still unknown. Here we report that preventing mitochondrial fission, by down-regulating expression of Drp1 in mammalian cells leads to a loss of mitochondrial DNA and a decrease of mitochondr...
