Deficits in mitochondrial dynamics and iron balance result in templated insertions.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial membrane dynamics control the shape, number, and distribution of mitochondria and regulate energy production and cell health. In a screen for yeast mutants with increased levels of templated insertions (~10-1000 bp) in the nuclear genome, we identified mitochondrial fusion deficient mutants (mgm1Δ, ugo1Δ, fzo1Δ). We found that fusion mutants activate the iron regulon, have decreased iron-sulfur...
