SnapShot: Mitochondrial Dynamics Yasushi Tamura,1 Kie Itoh,1 and Hiromi Sesaki,1 1Department of Cell Biology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA Mitochondrial Fusion and Division Mitochondria are tubular, highly dynamic organelles that continuously fuse and divide in a regulated manner. A balance of fusion and division controls mitochondrial morphol- ogy; imbalanced dynamics leads to altered morphology, which is associated with a variety of pathological conditions. When fusion is decreased, mitochondria fragment into small, spherical mitochondria that are often characterized by swollen cristae and impaired respiratory functions. When division is inhibited, tubular mitochondria fuse, generating elongated mitochondrial tubules with increased connectivity. In some neurons, however, decreased division leads to enlarged, spherical mitochondria. Highlighting the importance of mitochondrial fusion and division in human health and disease, mutations in mitochondrial dynamics components have recently been linked to several neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, including a birth defect with multiple neurological disorders (Drp1), Parkinson’s disease (Parkin and Pink1), autosomal dominant optic atrophy type 1 (Opa1), and Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathies (Mfn2 and GDAP1). In addition, although Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s diseases are not associated with such mutations, they do show altered activity and abundance of mitochondrial dynamics components. Core Machineries for Mitochondrial Fusion and Division Dynamin-related GTPases feature prominently in mitochondrial fusion and division. Complexes of mitofusin 1 and 2 (Fzo1) control outer-membrane fusion, whereas Opa1 (Mgm1) mediates inner-membrane fusion. In addition to its role in fusion, Opa1 (Mgm1) has been implicated in direct control of cristae junctions. For mitochondrial division, Drp1 (Dnm1) is recruited to the organelle surface, where it assembles into spiral filaments that are thought to generate mechanical force, constricting and pinching off the mitochondria. Regulation of Fusion Although outer- and inner-membrane fusion events are coordinated, these processes require separate machineries. In the outer membrane, levels of mitofusins (Fzo1), which are regulated by ubiquitin proteasome pathway, influence the amount of organelle fusion. In mammals, mitofusins are ubiquitinated by two E3 ligases, MITOL/March5 and Parkin. MITOL/March5 is located in the outer membrane and ubiquitinates mitofusin 1. Parkin is translocated to dysfunctional, depolarized mitochondria by the Pink1 kinase. Ubiquit- ination and proteasomal degradation of mitofusins inhibit refusion of damaged mitochondria and promote autophagic degradation of mitochondria. The ubiquitin proteasome pathway plays a similar role in yeast, with the ubiquitin ligase SCFMdm30 regulating the levels of Fzo1. Mitochondrial fusion can be modulated independently of the amount of fusion proteins. For instance, the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bcl-xL stimulate mito- fusin 2 activity, whereas a mitofusin-binding protein (MIB) inhibits mitofusin 1 and 2. In the inner membrane, Opa1 (Mgm1) exists in two forms: l-Opa1 (l-Mgm1) is integral to the inner membrane, and s-Opa1 (s-Mgm1) is soluble as a result of proteolytic cleavage of the integrated membrane form. Both are required for mitochondrial fusion. In mammals, several inner membrane-localized proteases cleave Opa1, including PARL, i-AAA, m-AAA, and Oma1. In yeast, a homolog of PARL, Pcp1, cleaves Mgm1. Changes in matrix ATP levels and the membrane potential across the inner membrane affect Opa1 (Mgm1) processing. Because mitochondrial have two membranes, efficient fusion of the organelle requires coordination of outer- and inner-membrane fusion. Ugo1, an outer-membrane protein binds Fzo1 and Mgm1, linking these two fusion events in yeast. The mammalian homolog of Ugo1 remains unidentified. Regulation of Division Machinery Multiple integral outer-membrane proteins recruit Drp1 (Dnm1) to mitochondria. In mammals, Mff and MiD49/51 interact directly with Drp1, anchoring it to the mitochondrial sur- face. Fis1 was the first outer-membrane protein identified as a tether for Drp1, but its function has been challenged recently. One other integral outer-membrane protein, GDAP1, has also been implicated in Drp1-dependent mitochondrial division in mammals; however, the exact function of this protein awaits elucidation. Several types of posttranslational modifications regulate Drp1 in mammals. Similar to mitofusins, the activity of Drp1 appears to be regulated by MITOL/March5-dependent ubiquitination. In addition, SUMOylation, phosphorylation, and N-nitrosylation of Drp1 also control its functions. Although Drp1 appears to bind directly to outer-membrane receptors to promote division in mammalian cells, Dnm1 is tethered to the outer membrane by two functionally redundant protein complexes in yeast. Fis1 recruits Dnm1 via two WD40 domain-containing adaptor proteins, Mdv1 and Caf4. Parallel to this mechanism, Mdm36 and the corti- cal protein Num1 retain Dnm1 at the mitochondrial surface. The Num1-Mdm36 mechanism connects mitochondria to the cell cortex and promotes appropriate segregation and inheritance of mitochondria during cytokinesis. In algae, Dnm1 is proposed to associate with Fis1 and the WD40 domain-containing protein Mda1 on the outer membrane. Additionally, two proteins related to bacterial division components, FtsZ and ZED, are located on the matrix side of the inner membrane and form a ring structure, which potentially mediates inner-membrane division. The machinery necessary for inner-membrane division has yet to be identified in mammals and yeast.

This article is published with open access Abstract MCL1, a BCL2 relative, is critical for the survival of many cells. Its turnover is often tightly controlled through both ubiquitin-dependent and -independent mechanisms of proteasomal degradation. Several cell stress signals, including DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, are known to elicit distinct E3 ligases to ubiquitinate and degrade MCL1. Another trigger that drives MCL1 degradation is engagement by NOXA, one of its BH3-only protein ligands, but the mechanism responsible has remained unclear. From an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we discovered that the ubiquitin E3 ligase MARCH5, the ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzyme UBE2K, and the mitochondrial outer membrane protein MTCH2 co- — fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: operate to mark MCL1 for degradation by the proteasome speci cally when MCL1 is engaged by NOXA. This mechanism of degradation also required the MCL1 transmembrane domain and distinct MCL1 lysine residues to proceed, suggesting that the components likely act on the MCL1:NOXA complex by associating with it in a specific orientation within the mitochondrial outer membrane.

MtDNA is stochastically replicated and degraded, and exists within organelles which undergo dynamic fusion and fission. The role of the resulting mitochondrial networks in determining the time evolution of the cellular proportion of mutated mtDNA molecules (heteroplasmy), and cell-to-cell variability in heteroplasmy (heteroplasmy variance), remains incompletely understood. Heteroplasmy variance is particularly important since it modulates the number of pathological cells in a tissue. Here, we provide the first wide- reaching mathematical treatment which bridges mitochondrial network and genetic states. We show that, for a range of models, the rate of increase in heteroplasmy variance, and the rate of de novo mutation, is proportionately modulated by the fraction of unfused mitochondria, independently of the absolute fission- fusion rate.

This article is published with open access Abstract Cells experiencing delays in mitotic progression are prone to undergo apoptosis unless they can exit mitosis before proapoptotic factors reach a critical threshold. Microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) arrest cells in mitosis and induce apoptotic cell death engaging the BCL2 network. Degradation of the antiapoptotic BCL2 family member MCL-1 is considered to set the time until onset of apoptosis upon MTA treatment. MCL1 degradation involves its interaction with one of its key binding partners, the proapoptotic BH3-only protein NOXA. Here, we report that the mitochondria-associated E3- ligase MARCH5, best known for its role in mitochondrial quality control and regulation of components of the mitochondrial fission machinery, controls the levels of MCL1/NOXA protein complexes in steady state as well as during mitotic arrest. 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Inhibition of MARCH5 function sensitizes cancer cells to the proapoptotic effects of MTAs by the accumulation of NOXA and primes cancer cells that may undergo slippage to escape death in mitosis to cell death in the next G1 phase. We propose that inhibition of MARCH5 may be a suitable strategy to sensitize cancer cells to antimitotic drug treatment.

  • PINK1 and Parkin Mitochondrial Quality Control: a Source of Regional Vulnerability in Parkinson’S Disease Preston Ge1,2,3,4,5,6, Valina L
    Ge et al. Molecular Neurodegeneration (2020) 15:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13024-020-00367-7 REVIEW Open Access PINK1 and Parkin mitochondrial quality control: a source of regional vulnerability in Parkinson’s disease Preston Ge1,2,3,4,5,6, Valina L. Dawson1,2,3* and Ted M. Dawson1,2,3* Abstract That certain cell types in the central nervous system are more likely to undergo neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease is a widely appreciated but poorly understood phenomenon. Many vulnerable subpopulations, including dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, have a shared phenotype of large, widely distributed axonal networks, dense synaptic connections, and high basal levels of neural activity. These features come at substantial bioenergetic cost, suggesting that these neurons experience a high degree of mitochondrial stress. In such a context, mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control play an especially important role in maintaining neuronal survival. In this review, we focus on understanding the unique challenges faced by the mitochondria in neurons vulnerable to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s and summarize evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to disease pathogenesis and to cell death in these subpopulations. We then review mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control mediated by activation of PINK1 and Parkin, two genes that carry mutations associated with autosomal recessive Parkinson’s disease. We conclude by pinpointing critical gaps in our knowledge of PINK1 and Parkin function, and propose that understanding the connection between the mechanisms of sporadic Parkinson’sand defects in mitochondrial quality control will lead us to greater insights into the question of selective vulnerability. Keywords: Parkinson disease, Parkin, PINK1, Mitochondria, Mitophagy, Selective vulnerability, Substantia nigra Background symptoms, and that the selective SNpc DA neuron toxin Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a late-onset neurodegenerative MPTP recapitulates the clinical phenotype of PD [2].

However, the connection between mutations in the HAX1 gene and defective granulopoiesis in this disease has remained unclear, mainly due to the lack of a useful experimental model for this disease. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a patient presenting for severe congenital neutropenia with HAX1 gene deficiency, and analyzed their in vitro neutrophil differentiation potential by using a novel serum- and feeder-free directed differentiation culture system. Cytostaining and flow cytometric analyses of myeloid cells differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells showed arrest at the myeloid progenitor stage and apoptotic predisposition, both of which replicated abnormal granulopoiesis. Moreover, lentiviral transduction of the HAX1 cDNA into patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells reversed disease-related abnormal granulopoiesis.

ABSTRACT Cells have evolved specialized protein disaggregases to reverse toxic protein aggregation and restore protein functionality. In nonmetazoan eukaryotes, the AAA+ disaggregase Hsp78 resolubilizes and reactivates proteins in mitochondria. Curiously, metazoa lack Hsp78. Hence, whether metazoan mitochondria reactivate aggregated proteins is unknown. Here, we establish that a mitochondrial AAA+ protein, Skd3 (human CLPB), couples ATP hydrolysis to protein disaggregation and reactivation. The Skd3 ankyrin-repeat domain combines with conserved AAA+ elements to enable stand-alone disaggregase activity. A mitochondrial inner-membrane protease, PARL, removes an autoinhibitory peptide from Skd3 to greatly enhance disaggregase activity. Indeed, PARL-activated Skd3 dissolves α-synuclein fibrils connected to Parkinson’s disease. Human cells lacking Skd3 exhibit reduced solubility of various mitochondrial proteins, including anti-apoptotic Hax1.

These proteins establish an intricate interaction network that expands both the cytosol and the surface of organelles to dictate the cell fate. The complexity and unpredictability of the BCL2 interactome resides in the large number of family members and of interaction surfaces, as well as on their different behaviours in solution and in the membrane. Although our current structural knowledge of the BCL2 proteins has been proven therapeutically relevant, the precise structure of membrane-bound complexes and the regulatory effect that membrane lipids exert over these proteins remain key questions in the field. Here, we discuss the complexity of BCL2 interactome, the new insights, and the black matter in the field. Keywords: BCL2 proteins; MOMP; protein membrane interactions; apoptosis; cancer therapy Perspective in BCL2 Universe The proteins of the BCL2 family are the main regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and constitute a fundamental part of tumorigenic cell dismissal and cancer treatment effectiveness [1,2]. Apoptosis effectors, or BAX-type proteins, are the most effective removers of damaged cells, while their antiapoptotic counterparts, or BCL2-type proteins, inhibit apoptotic cell death and play a role in chemotherapeutic resistance [3,4].
