Mdv1p Is a Wd Repeat Protein That Interacts with the Dynamin-Related Gtpase, Dnm1p, to Trigger Mitochondrial Division
16 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial fission is mediated by the dynamin-related GTPase, Dnm1p, which assembles on the mitochondrial outer membrane into punctate structures associated with sites of membrane constriction and fission. We have identified additional nuclear genes required for mitochondrial fission, termed MDV (for mitochondrial division). MDV1 encodes a predicted soluble protein, containing a coiled-coil motif and seven...
