Abstract

Dynamins are a eukaryote-specific family of GTPases. Some family members are involved in diverse and varied cellular activities. Here, we report that the primitive red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae retains only one dynamin homolog, CmDnm1, belonging to the mitochondrial division subfamily. Previously, the bacterial cell division protein, FtsZ, was shown to localize at the mitochondrial division site in the alga. We showed that FtsZ and dynamin coexist as mitochondrial division-associated proteins that act during different phases of division. CmDnm1 was recruited from 10–20 cytoplasmic patches (dynamin patches) to the midpoint of the constricted mitochondrion-dividing ring (MD ring), which was observed as an electron-dense structure on the cytoplasmic side. CmDnm1 is probably not required for early constriction; it forms a ring or spiral when the outer mitochondrial membrane is finally severed, whereas the FtsZ and MD rings are formed before constriction. It is thought that the FtsZ, MD, and dynamin rings are involved in scaffolding, constriction, and final separation, respectively. In eukaryotes, mitochondrial severance is probably the most conserved role for the dynamin family.

  • In prokaryotic cells and certain primitive eukaryotic species, FtsZ is a self-assembly GTPase that forms a calcium-mediated constricting ring on the IMM matrix side, suggesting that specific mechanisms for IMM constriction must exist.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
