Knockdown of MiD49 or MiD51 causes mitochondrial elongation and enhances the Fis1-null, Mff-null, and Fis1/Mff-null phenotypes. (A) Mitochondrial morphology in wild-type MEFs treated with control siRNA, siRNA against MiD49, siRNA against MiD51, or both. Scale bar, 10 μm. Insets are magnified images of the boxed regions. Scale bar, 5 μm. Mitochondria were highlighted by expression of Cox8-DsRed. (B) Western blot of cell lysates containing single and double knockdown of the MiDs. SOD2 is a loading control. (C) Scoring of mitochondrial network morphologies for knockdown experiments in wild-type, Fis1-null, Mff-null, and Fis1/Mff-null cells. Data were obtained from three independent experiments, with 100 cells scored per experiment. Error bars, SEM. C, collapsed; L, long; N, net-like; S, short.
