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

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 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.

Mitochondrial Fission Protein 1: Emerging Roles in Organellar Form and Function in Health and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1) was identified in yeast as being essential for mitochondrial division or fission and subsequently determined to mediate human mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission.

Inositol serves as a natural inhibitor of mitochondrial fission by directly targeting AMPK

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2021
Mitochondrial dynamics regulated by mitochondrial fusion and fission essentially maintain mitochondrial functions, whose alterations underline various human diseases. Here we show that inositol is a critical metabolite directly restricting AMPK-dependent

The Role of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitotic Fission in Regulating the Cell Cycle in Cancer and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Implications for Dynamin-Related Protein 1 and Mitofusin2 in Hyperproliferative Diseases

open access: yesCells, 2023
Mitochondria, which generate ATP through aerobic respiration, also have important noncanonical functions. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles, that engage in fission (division), fusion (joining) and translocation. They also regulate intracellular calcium

Mitochondrial membrane tension governs fission [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Abstract During mitochondrial fission, key molecular and cellular factors assemble on the outer mitochondrial membrane, where they coordinate to generate constriction. Constriction sites can eventually divide, or reverse upon disassembly of the machinery. However, a role for membrane tension in mitochondrial fission, although speculated,

DUSP1 alleviates cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury by suppressing the Mff-required mitochondrial fission and Bnip3-related mitophagy via the JNK pathways

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2018
Mitochondrial fission and selective mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) form an essential axis of mitochondrial quality control that plays a critical role in the development of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury.

Preventing mitochondrial fission impairs mitochondrial function and leads to loss of mitochondrial DNA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Mitochondria form a highly dynamic tubular network, the morphology of which is regulated by frequent fission and fusion events. However, the role of mitochondrial fission in homeostasis of the organelle is still unknown.

Disease-causing MFN2 mutants impair mitochondrial fission dynamics by distinct DRP1 dysregulation [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death and Disease
Mitochondria undergo fusion and fission. While DRP1 regulates fission, fusion is controlled by OPA1, MFN1, and MFN2. The balance between these processes and the crosstalk between machineries remains poorly understood.

Mitochondrial fission and fusion: A dynamic role in aging and potential target for age-related disease

open access: yesMechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2020
The mitochondria is the major hub to convert energy for cellular processes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial function is one of the classical hallmarks of aging, and mitochondrial interventions have repeatedly been shown to improve outcomes in age-related ...

The role of Mitochondrial Fission Proteins in Mitochondrial Dynamics in Kidney Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Mitochondria have many forms and can change their shape through fusion and fission of the outer and inner membranes, called “mitochondrial dynamics”. Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, such as mitochondrial fission protein 1 (FIS1), mitochondrial ...
