Inhibition of Drp1 provides neuroprotection in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death and Differentiation, 2012
Impaired regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, which shifts the balance towards fission, is associated with neuronal death in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. A role for mitochondrial dynamics in acute brain injury, however, has not been elucidated to date.

The phosphorylation status of Ser-637 in dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) does not determine Drp1 recruitment to mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2019
Recruitment of the GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) to mitochondria is a central step required for mitochondrial fission. Reversible Drp1 phosphorylation has been implicated in the regulation of this process, but whether Drp1 phosphorylation at Ser-637 determines its subcellular localization and fission activity remains to be fully elucidated ...

The impact of DRP1 on myocardial fibrosis in the obese minipig

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2020
AbstractBackgroundThe heart is a highly oxidative tissue, thus mitochondria play a major role in maintaining optimal cardiac function. Our previous study established a dietary‐induced obese minipig with cardiac fibrosis. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cardiac fibrosis of obese minipigs.DesignFour‐month‐old ...

Mechanisms of Drp1 Recruitment to Mitochondria

2017
Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a GTPase of the dynamin superfamily that catalyzes mitochondrial fission in the cell. Cytosolic Drp1 is recruited to mitochondria by receptors anchored to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Once there, Drp1 assembles into a complex around the mitochondrial circumference to drive division via a GTP-dependent ...

Drp1 in Ischemic Neuronal Death: An Unusual Suspect

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
Mitochondria play a crucial role in multitude of cellular processes including energy production, calcium signaling, and apoptosis. This remarkable organelle constantly undergoes a complex cycle of fusion and fission, a crucial quality control system for maintaining homeostasis of the cell.

Functional characterization of human DRP1

2012
Das Ziel dieser Studie war die Charakterisierung des Proteins DRP1 (dynamin related protein 1), der Hauptfaktor bei der mitochondrialen Teilung, auf biochemischer und biophysikalischer Ebene. Mitochondrien spielen unter anderem im Energiehaushalt, in der Apoptose und der Homöostase von Kalzium eine entscheidende Rolle.

Drp1: Focus on Diseases Triggered by the Mitochondrial Pathway

Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics
Drp1 (Dynamin-Related Protein 1) is a cytoplasmic GTPase protein encoded by the DNM1L gene that influences mitochondrial dynamics by mediating mitochondrial fission processes. Drp1 has been demonstrated to play an important role in a variety of life activities such as cell survival, proliferation, migration, and death.
