Summary of mitochondrial morphological effect proteins.

Protein Effects References
Mfn1 It is a transmembrane GTPase and mediates mitochondrial fusion. Mitochondrial fusion occurs in a variety of cell types and is an important step in the balance between fusion and fission. Civiletto et al., 2015

Opa1 It is a GTPase associated with mitochondrial fusion and apoptosis. Its formation is used to store proteins within the mitochondrial cristae to prevent proliferation. Gomes et al., 2011
L-Opa1 The Opa1 is a dynamin-related protein associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane and functions in mitochondrial inner membrane fusion and cristae maintenance. Gonzalez-Franquesa and Patti, 2017
S-Opa1 Inner membrane-anchored L-Opa1 undergoes proteolytic cleavage resulting in S-Opa1. Gonzalez-Franquesa and Patti, 2017
Drp1 It mainly compresses around the break site by the mechanism of hydrolysis of GTP and then cuts off the mitochondrial membrane. Huttemann et al., 2011
Fis1 It is involved in fragmentation fission and perinuclear clustering factors of the mitochondrial reticular organization. Ishihara et al., 2006
