Very Rare Complementation between Mitochondria Carrying Different Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Points to Intrinsic Genetic Autonomy of the Organelles in Cultured Human Cells [PDF]
In the present work, a large scale investigation was done regarding the capacity of cultured human cell lines (carrying in homoplasmic form either the mitochondrial tRNALys A8344G mutation associated with the myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fiber ...

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 ...

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

Bioenergetic roles of mitochondrial fusion
Mitochondria are bioenergetic hotspots, producing the bulk of ATP by the oxidative phosphorylation process. Mitochondria are also structurally dynamic and undergo coordinated fusion and fission to maintain their function. Recent studies of the mitochondrial fusion machinery have provided new evidence in detailing their role in mitochondrial metabolism.

Mitochondrial fusion has been observed in a great variety of organisms from yeast to man. It serves to mix and unify the mitochondrial compartment and plays roles in cellular aging, cell development, energy dissipation and mitochondrial DNA inheritance. Large GTPases in the mitochondrial outer membrane, termed Fzo or mitofusins, have been identified as

Hypobaric Hypoxia Imbalances Mitochondrial Dynamics in Rat Brain Hippocampus
Brain is predominantly susceptible to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction during hypobaric hypoxia, and therefore undergoes neurodegeneration due to energy crisis.

The Imbalance of Mitochondrial Fusion/Fission Drives High-Glucose-Induced Vascular Injury
Emerging evidence shows that mitochondria fusion/fission imbalance is related to the occurrence of hyperglycemia-induced vascular injury. To study the temporal dynamics of mitochondrial fusion and fission, we observed the alteration of mitochondrial ...
