نویسندگان
چکیده
Thank you for the submission of your research manuscript to our editorial offices. It has been sent to three referees, and so far we have received reports from two of them. As both referees agree on the potential interest of the findings, I would like to ask you to begin revising your manuscript according to the referees' comments. Please note that this is a preliminary decision made in the interest of time, and that it is subject to change should the third referee offer very strong and convincing reasons for this. We will forward you the third report as soon as we have received it and we expect you to not only address the concerns of the first two referees, but also of the third reviewer once we have received them.

MiD49 and MiD51, new components of the mitochondrial fission machinery.
Mitochondria form intricate networks through fission and fusion events. Here, we identify mitochondrial dynamics proteins of 49 and 51 kDa (MiD49 and MiD51, respectively) anchored in the mitochondrial outer membrane. MiD49/51 form foci and rings around mitochondria similar to the fission mediator dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). MiD49/51 directly recruit Drp1 to the mitochondrial surface, wher...
متن کاملFis1, Mff, MiD49, and MiD51 mediate Drp1 recruitment in mitochondrial fission
Several mitochondrial outer membrane proteins-mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1), mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), mitochondrial dynamics proteins of 49 and 51 kDa (MiD49 and MiD51, respectively)-have been proposed to promote mitochondrial fission by recruiting the GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), but fundamental issues remain concerning their function. A recent study supported s...
متن کاملCooperative and independent roles of the Drp1 adaptors Mff, MiD49 and MiD51 in mitochondrial fission.
Cytosolic dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1, also known as DNM1L) is required for both mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. Drp1-dependent division of these organelles is facilitated by a number of adaptor proteins at mitochondrial and peroxisomal surfaces. To investigate the interplay of these adaptor proteins, we used gene-editing technology to create a suite of cell lines lacking the adaptor...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial fission receptor Mff selectively recruits oligomerized Drp1
Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is the GTP-hydrolyzing mechanoenzyme that catalyzes mitochondrial fission in the cell. Residing in the cytosol as dimers and tetramers, Drp1 is recruited by receptors on the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it further assembles into a helical ring that drives division via GTP-dependent constriction. The Drp1 receptor Mff is a major regulator of mitochondrial ...
متن کاملDrp1-dependent mitochondrial fission via MiD49/51 is essential for apoptotic cristae remodeling
Mitochondrial fission facilitates cytochrome c release from the intracristae space into the cytoplasm during intrinsic apoptosis, although how the mitochondrial fission factor Drp1 and its mitochondrial receptors Mff, MiD49, and MiD51 are involved in this reaction remains elusive. Here, we analyzed the functional division of these receptors with their knockout (KO) cell lines. In marked contras...
متن کاملAnalysis of ER-mitochondria contacts using correlative fluorescence microscopy and soft X-ray tomography of mammalian cells.
Mitochondrial fission is important for organelle transport, quality control and apoptosis. Changes to the fission process can result in a wide variety of neurological diseases. In mammals, mitochondrial fission is executed by the GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1; encoded by DNM1L), which oligomerizes around mitochondria and constricts the organelle. The mitochondrial outer membrane protei...
