High impact information on DNM1

  • In contrast to its fission function in healthy cells, Fis1 unexpectedly inhibits Dnm1-mediated mitochondrial fission and cysteine protease-dependent cell death in yeast [1].
  • Two Dnm1-interacting factors also regulate yeast cell death [1].
  • In support of a primordial origin of programmed cell death involving mitochondria, we found that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homolog of human Drp1, Dnm1, promotes mitochondrial fragmentation/degradation and cell death following treatment with several death stimuli [1].
  • Deletion of the Dnm1 gene delays the transformation of filamentous to punctuate mitochondria and retards ageing without impairing fitness and fertility typically observed in long-lived mutants [2].
  • The mitochondrial division machinery regulates mitochondrial dynamics and consists of Fis1p, Mdv1p, and Dnm1p [3].
 

Biological context of DNM1

  • This suggests that deletion of DNM1 reinforces the vps1 peroxisome phenotype [4].
  • Cells with a disruption in the DNM1 gene showed mating response defects consistent with a delay in receptor-mediated endocytosis [5].
  • In the course of studying a dynamin-related gene, DNM1, we previously physically mapped the gene to chromosome 12 [6].
  • Dnm1 self-assembly proceeded through a rate-limiting nucleation step, and nucleotide hydrolysis by assembled Dnm1 structures was highly cooperative with respect to GTP [7].
  • Molecular and genetic mapping showed that DNM1 is the most proximal gene to the right of centromere 12, and is predicted to encode a protein of 85 kD, designated Dnm1p [5].
 

Anatomical context of DNM1

  • These mutants, which appear defective in mitochondrial division, all carried mutations in DNM1, a dynamin-related protein that localizes to mitochondria [8].
  • Disruption of the DNM1 gene causes the wild-type network of tubular mitochondrial membranes to collapse to one side of the cell but does not affect the morphology or distribution of other cytoplasmic organelles [9].
  • Here we show that deletion of DNM1 also results in reduction of peroxisome numbers [4].
  • Time-lapse imaging indicated that during budding of dnm1 vps1 cells, the single peroxisome present in the mother cell formed long protrusions into the developing bud [4].
  • Cells disrupted in this new gene, which we call NET2, contain a single mitochondrion that consists of a network formed by interconnected tubules, similar to the phenotype of dnm1 Delta cells [10].
 

Associations of DNM1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of DNM1

 

Co-localisations of DNM1

  • In a related study (Tieu, Q., and J. Nunnari. 2000. J. Cell Biol. 151:353-365), it was shown that the FIS2 gene product (called Mdv1p) colocalizes with Dnm1p on mitochondria [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of DNM1

  • Specifically, mutations in MGM1 cause mitochondrial fragmentation and a loss of mitochondrial DNA that are suppressed by abolishing DNM1-dependent fission [13].
  • Overproduction of either domain of Net2p in yeast cells poisons mitochondrial fission, and the dominant-negative effect caused by the WD-repeats of Net2p is suppressed by increased levels of Dnm1p [14].
 

Other interactions of DNM1

  • However, the localization of Dnm1p to the mitochondrial outer membrane is substantially reduced by the gag2 mutation, but unaffected by loss of Gag3p [11].
  • Consistent with this idea, mitochondrial fusion is blocked in mgm1 cells during mating, and deletion of DNM1, which encodes a dynamin-related GTPase required for mitochondrial fission, blocks mitochondrial fragmentation in mgm1 cells [15].
  • However, in contrast to fzo1 cells, deletion of DNM1 in mgm1 cells restores mitochondrial fusion during mating [15].
  • Fragmentation of mitochondria and loss of mtDNA in ugo1 mutants are rescued by disrupting DNM1, a gene required for mitochondrial division [16].
  • Similar observations were made in cells lacking Fis1p, a protein involved in Dnm1p function [4].
