“…Much of our understanding of motor‐protein‐based transport comes from the study of mitochondrial motility in neurons, where long‐range transport is thought to be mediated by interactions of mitochondria with microtubule based motors (Saxton & Hollenbeck, ; Schwarz, ). There is a growing body of evidence indicating that microtubules and their associated proteins also influence fission and fusion dynamics (Mehta, Chacko, Chug, Jhunjhunwala, & Ananthanarayanan, ; Perdiz, Lorin, Leroy‐Gori, & Pous, ). Actin filaments and their associated proteins also contribute to the fission/fusion balance in cells (DuBoff, Gotz, & Feany, ; Hatch, Ji, Merrill, Strack, & Higgs, ; Ji, Hatch, Merrill, Strack, & Higgs, ; Korobova, Gauvin, & Higgs, ; Korobova, Ramabhadran, & Higgs, ; Manor et al, ), as well as providing an additional system for motor‐based transport through actin–myosin interactions (Kruppa et al, ; Pathak, Sepp, & Hollenbeck, ; Rohn et al, ).…”
