Mitofusins, from Mitochondria to Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2016
Mitochondrial architecture is involved in several functions crucial for cell viability, proliferation, senescence, and signaling. In particular, mitochondrial dynamics, through the balance between fusion and fission events, represents a central mechanism for bioenergetic adaptation to metabolic needs of the cell.

Mitofusins as mitochondrial anchors and tethers

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2020
Mitochondria have their own genomes and their own agendas. Like their primitive bacterial ancestors, mitochondria interact with their environment and organelle colleagues at their physical interfaces, the outer mitochondrial membrane. Among outer membrane proteins, mitofusins (MFN) are increasingly recognized for their roles as arbiters of mitochondria-

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.

Calcium Signalling: Mitofusins Promote Interorganellar Crosstalk [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2009
Juxtaposition of the endoplasmic reticulum with mitochondria facilitates Ca(2+) fluxes between the organelles. However, the molecular basis of interorganellar tethering remains unknown. A recent report has identified a fundamental role for the dynamin-related mitofusins in the tethering mechanism, thereby ensuring rapid and high fidelity Ca(2 ...

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.
