Disease-associated mutations in Drp1 have fundamentally different effects on the mitochondrial fission machinery.

Abstract excerpt

Patient mutations have been identified throughout dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), the key protein mediator of mitochondrial fission. These changes generally impact young children and often result in severe neurological defects and, in some instances, death. Until now, the underlying functional defect leading to patient phenotypes has been largely speculative. We therefore analyzed six disease-associated...
