The BCL-2-like protein CED-9 of C. elegans promotes FZO-1/Mfn1,2- and EAT-3/Opa1-dependent mitochondrial fusion.

The Journal of cell biology - 24 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

The mammalian dynamin-related guanosine triphosphatases Mfn1,2 and Opa1 are required for mitochondrial fusion. However, how their activities are controlled and coordinated is largely unknown. We present data that implicate the BCL-2-like protein CED-9 in the control of mitochondrial fusion in Caenorhabditis elegans. We demonstrate that CED-9 can promote complete mitochondrial fusion of both the outer and inner...
