Disease relevance of drp-1

  • Mutant DRP-1 causes the mitochondrial matrix to retract into large blebs that are both surrounded and connected by tubules of outer membrane [1].
 

High impact information on drp-1

  • Overexpressed wild-type DRP-1 causes mitochondria to become excessively fragmented, consistent with an active role in mitochondrial scission [1].
  • Furthermore, DRP-1/dynamin-related protein, a key component of the mitochondrial fission machinery, is required and sufficient to induce mitochondrial fragmentation and programmed cell death during C. elegans development [2].
