Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2016 The dynamins represent a superfamily of proteins that have been shown to function in a wide range of membrane fusion and fission events. An increasing number of mutations in the human classical dynamins, Dyn-1 and Dyn-2 has been reported, with diseases ...

Mesoscopic elasticity controls dynamin-driven fission of lipid tubules [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMesoscale physics bridges the gap between the microscopic degrees of freedom of a system and its large-scale continuous behavior and highlights the role of a few key quantities in complex and multiscale phenomena, like dynamin-driven fission of lipid ...

The dynamin-related protein PfDyn2 is essential for both apicoplast and mitochondrial fission in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
mBioDynamins, or dynamin-related proteins (DRPs), are large mechano-sensitive GTPases that mediate membrane dynamics or organellar fission/fusion events. Plasmodium falciparum encodes three dynamin-like proteins whose functions are poorly understood.

Organelle Dynamics in Apicomplexan Parasites
mBio, 2021 Apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, are the cause of many important human and animal diseases. While T. gondii tachyzoites replicate through endodyogeny, during which two daughter cells are formed within the ...

Cardiolipin targets a dynamin-related protein to the nuclear membrane
eLife, 2021 Dynamins are targeted to specific cellular membranes that they remodel via membrane fusion or fission. The molecular basis of conferring specificity to dynamins for their target membrane selection is not known.

Role of GTPase-Dependent Mitochondrial Dynamins in Heart Diseases
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Heart function maintenance requires a large amount of energy, which is supplied by the mitochondria. In addition to providing energy to cardiomyocytes, mitochondria also play an important role in maintaining cell function and homeostasis.

TMEM16F and dynamins control expansive plasma membrane reservoirs
Nature Communications, 2021 Cells locally expand and retract their surface in response to environmental factors such as changes in membrane tension. Here the authors show the membrane adapter, dynamin2, locally constricts surface membrane to form an isolated but contiguous membrane
