Miro—Working beyond Mitochondria and Microtubules
The small GTPase Miro is best known for its regulation of mitochondrial movement by engaging with the microtubule-based motor proteins kinesin and dynein. Very recent findings have now showed that Miro also targets peroxisomes and regulates microtubule-dependent peroxisome motility. Moreover, Miro recruits and stabilizes the myosin motor Myo19 at the mitochondria to enable actin-based mitochond...
متن کاملMutations in Fis1 disrupt orderly disposal of defective mitochondria
Mitochondrial fission is mediated by the dynamin-related protein Drp1 in metazoans. Drp1 is recruited from the cytosol to mitochondria by the mitochondrial outer membrane protein Mff. A second mitochondrial outer membrane protein, named Fis1, was previously proposed as recruitment factor, but Fis1(-/-) cells have mild or no mitochondrial fission defects. Here we show that Fis1 is nevertheless p...
متن کاملReductive carboxylation supports growth in tumour cells with defective mitochondria
Mitochondrial metabolism provides precursors to build macromolecules in growing cancer cells. In normally functioning tumour cell mitochondria, oxidative metabolism of glucoseand glutamine-derived carbon produces citrate and acetyl-coenzyme A for lipid synthesis, which is required for tumorigenesis. Yet some tumours harbour mutations in the citric acid cycle (CAC) or electron transport chain (E...
متن کاملApoptotic foci at mitochondria: in and around Bax pores.
The permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane by Bax and Bak during apoptosis is considered a key step and a point of no return in the signalling pathway. It is always closely related to the reorganization of mitochondrial cristae that frees cytochrome c to the intermembrane space and to massive mitochondrial fragmentation mediated by the dynamin-like protein Drp1. Despite multiple e...
متن کاملThe Quiet Revolution: Japanese Women Working around the Law
Japan is not renowned for the muscle oexed by its feminist movement. Although legal protections for women do exist, the stereotype of the subservient geisha dominates Japanese women’s international image, and fringe feminist activity has been sporadic at best. In fact, the Japanese media has a history of mocking the more radical women’s movements. Despite the absence of a conventional feminist ...
