In vivo functions of Drp1: Lessons learned from yeast genetics and mouse knockouts

Abstract: Mitochondria grow, divide, and fuse in cells. Mitochondrial division is critical for the maintenance of the structure and function of mitochondria. Alterations in this process have been linked to many human diseases, including peripheral neuropathies and aging-related neurological disorders. In this review, we discuss recent progress in mitochondrial division by focusing on molecular and in vivo analyses of the evolutionarily conserved, central component of mitochondrial division, dynamin-related protein 1 (Dr… Show more

“…Membrane constriction is necessary, as the DLP1 ring has a restricted diameter and cannot encircle a whole organelle. For example, tubular mitochondria, which also depend on DLP1 for division, are generally~300 nm in diameter [147] whilst mitochondrial constriction sites have been measured at around 110 nm which correlates with the diameter of the DLP1 ring [104]. Similar observations have been made for peroxisomes [77].…”

“…Cellular metabolism relies on mitochondria to provide energy from oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that constantly fuse and divide to maintain normal cellular functions (Figure 1) [3-8]. When this delicate balance between division and fusion is lost, mitochondrial function, metabolism, and signaling are altered.…”

“…To accommodate these diverse functions, mitochondria adopt different shapes, sizes, numbers and distributions in different cell types [37]. The morphological organization of mitochondria is regulated primarily by organelle fusion and division.…”
