Cardiolipin dynamics promote membrane remodeling by mitochondrial OPA1 - Nature Communications This study reveals how cardiolipin governs mitochondrial morphology by modulating the activity of human OPA1 and how its replacement by monolyso-cardiolipin, as observed in Barth syndrome, impacts mitochondrial membrane-shaping mechanisms.

Excited to share that our paper on mitochondrial cardiolipin dynamics is published in @natcomms.nature.com today! We provide molecular explanations for unique aspects of mitochondrial morphology and the mechanisms underlying cardiolipin-related Barth Syndrome.

Fatty acyl-coenzyme A activates mitochondrial division through oligomerization of MiD49 and MiD51 - Nature Cell Biology Liu et al. find that long-chain acyl-coenzyme A activates two mitochondrial fission proteins, MiD49 and MiD51, by inducing their oligomerization. This activates their ability to stimulate DRP1 GTPase ...

How do subcellular compartments communicate cellular signals? Our work on the regulation of mitochondrial fission by fatty acyl-coenzyme A is finally out in Nature Cell Biology! This was a great collaboration with the Higgs Lab at Dartmouth College. #mitochondria
