Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a vital process for energy generation, and is carried
out by complexes within the mitochondria. OXPHOS complexes pose a unique challenge for …

Membrane fusion is required to establish the morphology and cellular distribution of the
mitochondrial compartment. In Drosophila, mutations in the fuzzy onions (fzo) GTPase block …

In yeast, mitochondrial division and fusion are highly regulated during growth, mating and
sporulation, yet the mechanisms controlling these activities are unknown. Using a novel …
