Deceleration of fusion–fission cycles improves mitochondrial quality control during aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy play a key role in ensuring mitochondrial quality control. Impairment thereof was proposed to be causative to neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cancer.

Neurodegenerative stress related mitochondrial proteostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1.1 Background: Mitochondria are the main site of energy production in most cells. Furthermore, they are involved in a multitude of other essential cellular processes, such as regulating the cellular calcium pool, lipid metabolism and programmed cell ...

Mitochondrial dynamics and metastasis [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2018
Changes in cellular metabolism are now a recognized hallmark of cancer. Although this process is ripe with therapeutic potential in the clinic, its complexity and extraordinary plasticity have systematically defied dogmas and oversimplifications. Perhaps, best exemplifying this intricacy is the role of mitochondria in cancer, which in just a few years ...

Mitochondrial Dynamics in Tachycardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2019
Tachycardiomyopathy (TCM) is a largely reversible form of non-ischemic heart failure. The underlying mechanism are, however, still today poorly understood. Recent data indicate distinct changes in mitochondrial distribution in these patients, compared to other non-ischemic cardiomyopathies.This study investigated underlying mechanisms in mitochondrial ...

Mitochondrial dynamics: quantifying mitochondrial fusion in vitro [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2010
Mitochondrial fusion is an essential process for preserving the integrity and stability of mitochondrial DNA; however, regulation of this process remains largely mysterious. In this issue of BMC Biology, Schauss and colleagues describe a simple, reliable, and robust novel assay that allows fusion of mammalian mitochondria to be quantified in vitro.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 deficiency is a novel disorder of mitochondrial fission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Defects of mitochondrial dynamics are emerging causes of neurological disease. In two children presenting with severe neurological deterioration following viral infection we identified a novel homozygous STAT2 mutation, c.1836C4A (p.Cys612Ter), using ...

SnapShot: Mitochondrial Dynamics

open access: yesCell, 2011
Mitochondria are tubular, highly dynamic organelles that continuously fuse and divide in a regulated manner. A balance of fusion and division controls mitochondrial morphol-ogy; imbalanced dynamics leads to altered morphology, which is associated with a variety of pathological conditions.

Dynamics of Mitochondrial Transport in Axons [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
The polarized structure and long neurites of neurons pose a unique challenge for proper mitochondrial distribution. It is widely accepted that mitochondria move from the cell body to axon ends and vice versa; however, we have found that mitochondria originating from the axon ends moving in the retrograde direction never reach to the cell body, and only

Ubiquitin-proteasome dependent mitochondrial protein quality control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dysfunctional mitochondria cause many neurodegenerative disorders and with aging in general, mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control are essential for cellular function.

A morphological view on mitochondrial protein targeting [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Mitochondrial protein targeting includes both intramitochondrial sorting of proteins encoded by the organellar genome and import and subsequent sorting of nuclear encoded precursor proteins. Only a few proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome and
