Journal ArticleDOI
Mitoguardin Regulates Mitochondrial Fusion through MitoPLD and Is Required for Neuronal Homeostasis
Yongping Zhang,Xiao-Man Liu,Jian Bai,Xuejun Tian,Xiaocui Zhao,Wei Liu,Xiuying Duan,Weina Shang,Heng-Yu Fan,Chao Tong +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that MIGA proteins promote mitochondrial fusion by regulating mitochondrial phospholipid metabolism via MitoPLD, which function downstream of mitofusin and interact with MinoPLD to stabilize Mito PLD and facilitate MitoplD dimer formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial protein import regulates cytosolic protein homeostasis and neuronal integrity
TL;DR: It is proposed that defects in mitochondrial protein import may be the key to linking imbalanced proteostasis and mitochondrial defects in nerve tissues and neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sec22 Regulates Endoplasmic Reticulum Morphology but Not Autophagy and Is Required for Eye Development in Drosophila
TL;DR: It is proposed that appropriate trafficking between the ER and Golgi is required for maintaining ER morphology and for Drosophila eye morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamin Regulates Autophagy by Modulating Lysosomal Function.
Xuefei Fang,Jia Zhou,Wei Liu,Xiuying Duan,Upasana Gala,Hector Sandoval,Manish Jaiswal,Chao Tong +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Shi is dispensable for autophagy initiation and autophagosome-lysosome fusion, but required for lysosomal/autolysosomal acidification, and that other endocytic core machinery components like clathrin and AP2 play similar but not identical roles in regulating Autophagy and lysOSomal function as dynamin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chchd2 regulates mitochondrial morphology by modulating the levels of Opa1
Wei Liu,Xiuying Duan,Xiuying Duan,Lingna Xu,Lingna Xu,Weina Shang,Jiayao Zhao,Liquan Wang,Jian-Chiuan Li,Chun-Hong Chen,Jun-Ping Liu,Chao Tong,Chao Tong,Chao Tong +13 more
TL;DR: A model whereby Chchd2 regulates mitochondrial morphology and tissue homeostasis by fine-tuning the levels of OPA1 is proposed, whereby this homolog of the human disease-related genes CHCHD2 andCHCHD10 encodes a mitochondrial protein.
