| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mitochondria shape is drastically changed by cellular physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction such as loss of membrane potential induces fragmentation of them, but the meaning of the mitochondrial structural variation has not been established. In this study, we developed a novel observation technique to address the detail structural backbone of mitochodrial dynamics and visualized the 3D microstructure of a moment of mitocondrial structural transformation. Here, we found that uncoupler administrated dysfunctional mitochondria shrank from their tubular shape into a globular shape without any fission and fusion and most of the globular mitochondria had some dents which shape was also referred as stomatocyte shape. This result strongly suggests existanse of hypothetic mitochondrial structural support mechanisms and loss of membrane potential probably trigger dissociation of the mechanisms. So our finding would be a key to understand the unique mitochondrial shape and their dynamics.
