Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria undergo frequent morphological changes through fission and fusion. Mutations in core members of the mitochondrial fission/fusion machinery are responsible for severe neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mitochondrial fission/fusion mechanisms are poorly understood. We found that the loss of a mitochondrial protein encoding gene, mitoguardin (miga), leads to mitochondrial defects and...
