Mitochondria have high fusion and fission rates to maintain their size and number throughout the cell cycle. How is fusion mediated? New structural studies propose mechanisms by which the dynamin-like mitofusin proteins promote fusion of mitochondria.
线粒体具有较高的融合和裂变速率,以在整个细胞周期中维持其大小和数量。融合是如何介导的?新的结构研究提出了驱动蛋白样线粒融合蛋白促进线粒体融合的机制。
