Specific Interaction with Cardiolipin Triggers Functional Activation of Dynamin-Related Protein 1
Dynamin-Related Protein 1 (Drp1), a large GTPase of the dynamin superfamily, is required for mitochondrial fission in healthy and apoptotic cells. Drp1 activation is a complex process that involves translocation from the cytosol to the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) and assembly into rings/spirals at the MOM, leading to membrane constriction/division. Similar to dynamins, Drp1 contains GTPa...
متن کاملInteraction between the photoreceptor-specific tubby-like protein 1 and the neuronal-specific GTPase dynamin-1.
PURPOSE Tubby-like proteins (TULPs) are a family of four proteins, two of which have been linked to neurosensory disease phenotypes. TULP1 is a photoreceptor-specific protein that is mutated in retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited retinal disease characterized by the degeneration of rod and cone photoreceptor cells. To investigate the function of TULP1 in maintaining the health of photoreceptors,...
متن کاملActivation of protein kinase C with cardiolipin-containing liposomes in relation to membrane-protein interaction.
Many cytoplasmic proteins, including Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) associate in Ca2+-dependent manner with phospholipid liposomes containing cardiolipin (CL), as in the case of phosphatidylserine (PS)-containing liposomes. A crude protein kinase C fraction was purified by association of the enzyme with CL-containing lip...
متن کاملCyclin-dependent kinases regulate splice-specific targeting of dynamin-related protein 1 to microtubules
Fission and fusion reactions determine mitochondrial morphology and function. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a guanosine triphosphate-hydrolyzing mechanoenzyme important for mitochondrial fission and programmed cell death. Drp1 is subject to alternative splicing of three exons with previously unknown functional significance. Here, we report that splice variants including the third but excl...
متن کاملDynamin-Related Protein 1 at the Crossroads of Cancer
Mitochondrial dynamics are known to have an important role in so-called age-related diseases, including cancer. Mitochondria is an organelle involved in many key cellular functions and responds to physiologic or stress stimuli by adapting its structure and function. Perhaps the most important structural changes involve mitochondrial dynamics (fission and fusion), which occur in normal cells as ...
