eLife, 2014 Mitochondrial fusion and fission affect the distribution and quality control of mitochondria. We show that Marf (Mitochondrial associated regulatory factor), is required for mitochondrial fusion and transport in long axons.

Disruption of fusion results in mitochondrial heterogeneity and dysfunction [PDF]
, 2005 Mitochondria undergo continual cycles of fusion and fission, and the balance of these opposing processes regulates mitochondrial morphology. Paradoxically, cells invest many resources to maintain tubular mitochondrial morphology, when reducing both ...

Structure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis

MFN2 mediates ER-mitochondrial coupling during ER stress through specialized stable contact sites
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions critically depend on a suitable ATP supply to fuel ER chaperons and protein trafficking. A disruption of the ability of the ER to traffic and fold proteins leads to ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR ...

Lin28A induces energetic switching to glycolytic metabolism in human embryonic kidney cells [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Loss of a cell’s capacity to generate sufficient energy for cellular functions is a key hallmark of the ageing process and ultimately leads to a variety of important age-related pathologies such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease and ...

Mitofusin 2 Builds a Bridge between ER and Mitochondria [PDF]
Cell, 2008 Mutations in mitofusin 2 (MFN2), a dynamin-like GTPase required for mitochondrial fusion, cause the peripheral neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A. In a recent report in Nature, de Brito and Scorrano (2008) demonstrate a new function of MFN2-tethering the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria to control the efficiency of mitochondrial uptake of Ca2+

Clinical and genetic characteristcs of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type IIA
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017 In this study, clinical manifestations of hereditary motor andsensory neuropathy type IIA (HMSN IIA, orCharcotMarieTooth disease type 2A) were analyzed in 22patients with the disease caused by different mutations of theMFN2 gene.
