| Research Abstract |
Mitochondria participate in a variety of physiologic processes such as the ATP poroduction and apoptosis. Mitochondria dynamically change morphology through fusion and fission and high MW GTPases Mfn1 and Mfn2 of outer membrane and OPA1 of inner membrane are involved in fusion, whereas cytoplasimic Drp1 regulates fission. Here, (1) Since outer membrane proteins Mff, Mid49 and Mid51 function as the Drp1 receptor, we analyzed relative importance of these receptors and found that Mff as the major Drp1 receptor. (2) We have generated Mff-KO mice; they were embryonic lethal (E6.5). Consideing that Drp1-KO mice are lethal at E12.5, Mff seems to have important developmental function in addition to the Drp1-receptor function. Furhtermore, we have demonstrated that (3) Drp1 is involved in segregation of mitochondrial nucleoids, Drp1 is esssential for making correctly arranged heart mucle fibers, and konckout of liver Drp1 induced NASH phenotype in high fat diet-fed rats by the ER stress.
