Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial structure, function and dynamics are temporally controlled by c-Myc.

TL;DR: It is shown that re-expression of Myc in myc−/− fibroblasts is accompanied by a gradual accumulation of mitochondrial biomass and by increases in membrane polarization and mitochondrial fusion, which supports the idea that Myc affects mitochondrial mass by influencing both of these processes, albeit favoring the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH5 controls mitochondrial fission and cell sensitivity to stress-induced apoptosis through regulation of MiD49 protein.

TL;DR: Through ubiquitin- and proteasome-dependent degradation of MiD49, MARCH5 acts as a negative regulator of mitochondrial fission and thereby initiates a mechanism that affords the cell protection from stress-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel regulatory roles of Mff and Drp1 in E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH5-dependent degradation of MiD49 and Mcl1 and control of mitochondrial dynamics.

TL;DR: In addition to their direct roles in mitochondrial fission, Mff and Drp1 act as regulatory factors and control mitochondria fission and fusion through a Ub-dependent mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

N-Myc overexpression increases cisplatin resistance in neuroblastoma via deregulation of mitochondrial dynamics.

TL;DR: It is found that N-Myc overexpressing cells are resistant to programmed cell death in response to exposure to low doses of cisplatin, and demonstrated that this was dependent on increased mitochondrial fusion.
