How could Parkin-mediated ubiquitination of mitofusin promote mitophagy? [PDF]
, 2010 Much evidence links mitochondrial dysfunction to the death of neurons in Parkinson disease (PD), and is particularly emphasized by our growing understanding of the function of genes linked to recessively inherited PD such as PINK1, parkin and DJ-1 ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

“In vitro” capacitation and subsequent acrosome reaction are related to changes in the expression and location of midpiece actin and mitofusin-2 in boar spermatozoa [PDF]
, 2012 The induction of “in vitro” capacitation (IVC) and subsequent, progesterone-induced “in vitro” acrosome reaction (IVAR) was concomitant with an increase in actin polymerization, also showing an increase in actin presence at the apical area of the ...

Discovery of PHB1 as a Novel Candidate Gene in Dominant Optic Atrophy
Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 165-171, August 2026.A heterozygous PHB1 missense variant (p.Ser147Phe) segregates with autosomal dominant optic atrophy in a multi‐generation family. Structural and cellular analyses suggest altered mitochondrial dynamics, identifying PHB1 as a novel candidate gene for hereditary optic neuropathy. ABSTRACT Hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a genetically heterogeneous

Overexpression of mitofusin 2 in the diabetic heart; pathological or cardioprotective remodelling? [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is an established hallmark of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is widely believed to function as a molecular tether, binding mitochondria to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to form specialised Ca2 ...

Loss of Mfn1 but not Mfn2 enhances adipogenesis.
PLoS ONEObjectiveA biallelic missense mutation in mitofusin 2 (MFN2) causes multiple symmetric lipomatosis and partial lipodystrophy, implicating disruption of mitochondrial fusion or interaction with other organelles in adipocyte differentiation, growth and/or ...

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.Hypoxia results in fragmented mitochondria. Whether this fragmentation promotes or prevents cell death is unresolved. Caenorhabditis elegans mutants defective in mitochondrial fission and fusion coupled with a hypoxia resistant Raptor mutant demonstrated that hypoxia‐induced mitochondrial fragmentation occurs without an intact fission machinery and ...
