Recombinant Mouse Mitofusin-1 (Mfn1)

1. data posit MFN1-mediated mitochondrial dynamics in POMC neurons as an intrinsic nutrient-sensing mechanism and unveil an unrecognized link between this subset of neurons and insulin release. PMID:28591639
2. These results highlight the crucial role of MFN1 in maintaining the competency of the STING pathway. PMID:28729291
3. Despite apparent mitochondrial dysfunction, hearts deficient in both Mfn1 and Mfn2 are protected against acute myocardial infarction due to impaired mitochondria/sarcoplasmic reticulum tethering. PMID:27228353
4. We found that mouse embryonic fibroblasts lacking Mfn2 have altered lipid droplet morphology. However, triacylglycerol biosynthesis was not dependent on ER-mitochondrial tethering mediated by mitofusins. Lastly, Mfn2 does not have a role in adipocyte differentiation. PMID:27404125
5. MFN1 deficiency leads to defects in mitochondrial activity and male infertility. PMID:26711429
6. Ablating Mfn1 eliminates the cardiac-related lethality of Mff knockout mice. PMID:26598616
7. Data suggest that mitochondrial fusion and fission events are regulated by four GTPases: Mfn1, Mfn2, OPA1 (optic atrophy 1 protein), and Drp1 (dynamin 1-like protein). [REVIEW] PMID:26375863
8. Authors present evidence that metabolically challenged mitochondria undergo active fusion to suppress oxidative stress. In response to glucose starvation, mitofusin 1 (MFN1) becomes associated with the protein deacetylase HDAC6. PMID:25271058
9. These findings suggest that mitochondrial impairment is a very early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis and abnormal expression of Mfn1 and Mfn2 caused by excessive intracellular Abeta is the possible molecular mechanism. PMID:24710686
10. Data identify MFN1 as an ERK target to modulate mitochondrial shape and apoptosis. PMID:25801171
11. A fine balance of Mfn1 levels is maintained by MARCH5-mediated quality control on acetylated Mfn1. PMID:24722297
12. Mitochondrial shape governs BAX-induced membrane permeabilization and apoptosis via Mfn1. PMID:25482509
13. Data unmask an important role for mitochondrial dynamics governed by Mfn1 and Mfn2 in Agrp neurons in central regulation of whole-body energy metabolism. PMID:24074868
14. Our findings establish that Mfn-1 and Mfn-2 are essential in mediating mitochondrial remodeling during postnatal cardiac development, a time of dramatic transitions in the bioenergetics and growth of the heart. PMID:22904094
15. Data suggest that Mfn-1 deletion in cardiomyocytes confers protection against reactive oxygen species-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. PMID:22037195
16. Patterned Purkinje cell degeneration is dependent on caspase activation, leading to the marked decrease of mitofusion 1 in the Harlequin cerebellum. PMID:20974255
17. Double Mfn-null cells show neither outer nor inner membrane fusion, while mitochondria in OPA1-null cells contain multiple matrix compartments bounded together by a single outer membrane, consistent with uncoupling of outer versus inner membrane fusion. PMID:19477917
18. results suggest that the heptad repeat region (HR2) of mfn1 functions as a mitochondrial tether before fusion PMID:15297672
19. OPA1, Mfn1 and Mfn2 have roles in mitochondrial fusion, cell growth, mitochondrial membrane potential, and cellular respiration PMID:15899901
20. Our results highlight the functional importance of Mfn1-Mfn2 heterooligomeric complexes and the close interplay between the two mitofusins in the control of mitochondrial fusion. PMID:17296794
21. IL-6 induces Bcl-2 expression to perform cytoprotective functions in response to oxygen toxicity, and that this effect is mediated by alterations in the interactions between Bak and Mfn1/Mfn2. Bcl-2 inhibited the interaction between Bak and Mfn1. PMID:19168699
