Evaluation of the role of mitofusin‐1 and mitofusin‐2 in periodontal disease

Journal of Periodontology, 2023
AbstractBackgroundMitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are key cellular organelles and create contact sites (mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact [MERC]), which plays a major role in calcium metabolism, apoptotic processes, and inflammation.

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.

Structural Basis of Mitochondrial Tethering by Mitofusin Complexes

Science, 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 (that is, between adjacent mitochondria).

Mitofusin 2 tethers endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria

Nature, 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. Here we show that mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein mutated in the inherited motor ...

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 ...
