Dynein/dynactin complex regulates mitochondrial morphology
Published in Proteomics Weekly, December 20th, 2004
"While the subcellular organization of mitochondria is likely to influence many aspects of cell physiology, its molecular control is poorly understood," scientists in England explained.
In a recent study, A. Varadi and coauthors at the University of Bristol "investigated the role of the retrograde motor protein complex, dynein-dynactin, in mitochondrial localization and morphology."
"Disruption of dynein function, achieved in HeLa cells either by over-expressing the dynactin subunit, dynamitin (p50), or by microinjection of an anti-dynein intermediate chain antibody,...
