Mitofusin 2 tethers endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2008
Juxtaposition between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria is a common structural feature, providing the physical basis for intercommunication during Ca(2+) signalling; yet, the molecular mechanisms controlling this interaction are unknown.

Structural Basis of Mitochondrial Tethering by Mitofusin Complexes [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2004
Vesicle fusion involves vesicle tethering, docking, and membrane merger. We show that mitofusin, an integral mitochondrial membrane protein, is required on adjacent mitochondria to mediate fusion, which indicates that mitofusin complexes act in trans ...

Conditional deletion of myeloid-specific mitofusin 2 but not mitofusin 1 promotes kidney fibrosis

Kidney International, 2022
Macrophages exert critical functions during kidney injury, inflammation, and tissue repair or fibrosis. Mitochondrial structural and functional aberrations due to an imbalance in mitochondrial fusion/fission processes are implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease.

Targeted Deletion of Mitofusin 1 and Mitofusin 2 Causes Female Infertility and Loss of Follicular Reserve

Reproductive Sciences, 2022
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that regulate their size, shape, and morphology through mechanisms called fusion and fission, to continually adapt themselves to their bioenergetic environment. These mechanisms play a critical role to maintain the mitochondrial function under metabolic and environmental stress.

Relationship between mitofusin 2 and cancer

2019
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose actions are fundamental for cell viability. Within the cell, the mitochondrial system is incessantly modified via the balance between fusion and fission processes. Among other proteins, mitofusin 2 is a central protagonist in all these mitochondrial events (fusion, trafficking, contacts with other organelles ...

Mitofusin-2 is a novel direct target of p53

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010
The tumor suppressor p53 modulates transcription of a number of target genes involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, DNA repair, and other important cellular responses. Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) is a novel suppressor of cell proliferation that may also exert apoptotic effects via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Role of mitofusin 2 in cardiovascular oxidative injury

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2010
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles with constant shape changes regulated by fusion and fission events. In addition to regulating mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial fusion/fission is involved in fundamental mitochondrial biological processes, including mitochondrial metabolism, energization, respiration, mitochondrial membrane potential ...
