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

Mitochondrial Dynamics in Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondria are very versatile organelles in continuous fusion and fission processes in response to various cellular signals. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission/fusion, movements and turnover, are essential for the mitochondrial ...

Mitochondrial Fusion: Bax to the Fussure [PDF]
Mitochondria can be organized into highly interconnected networks through continuous cycles of fission and fusion. A recent study by Hoppins et al. (2011) published in Molecular Cell now suggests that Bax, more commonly known for its role in apoptosis, can promote mitochondrial fusion in a Mitofusin 2-dependent manner.

Metabolic consequences of neuronal mitochondrial fission ablation [PDF]
Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), the main mammalian mediator of mitochondrial fission, has an especially important role in neuronal development, such that its deletion gives rise to pre- or perinatal lethality.

Mitochondrial repair is essential to metabolic homeostasis. Outer mitochondrial membrane mitofusin (MFN) proteins orchestrate mitochondrial fusion that opposes mitochondrial degeneration caused by senescence.

Solving a 50 year mystery of a missing OPA1 mutation: more insights from the first family diagnosed with autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Background: Up to the 1950s, there was an ongoing debate about the diversity of hereditary optic neuropathies, in particular as to whether all inherited optic atrophies can be ascribed to Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) or represent different ...

Mitochondrial fusion is increased by the nuclear coactivator PGC-1beta.
BackgroundThere is no evidence to date on whether transcriptional regulators are able to shift the balance between mitochondrial fusion and fission events through selective control of gene expression.Methodology/principal findingsHere, we demonstrate ...

Changes in dynamic properties of mitochondria are increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD). Static changes in mitochondrial morphology, often under acutely toxic conditions, are commonly utilized as ...

Plant mitochondrial fission and fusion
Single plant cells have hundreds of mitochondria that move around and change their shape through the processes of fission and fusion. The Arabidopsis genome has genes for two dynamin-related proteins, DRP3A and DRP3B, that are similar to genes involved in mitochondrial fission in yeasts. DRP3A and DRP3B were localized to mitochondrial constricted sites
