Fig. 6. MFN2(ΔTM) blocks mitochondrion-peroxisome clustering.

Fig. 6

a Schematic of the organization of wild type MFN2 and MFN2(ΔTM). G domain, GTPase domain; HD1/2, helical domain 1/2; T, transmembrane region; L, a Gly-Ser linker. Amino acids 606–647 in wild-type MFN2 were replaced with a 10 amino acid linker GGSGGGSGGG. b Confocal micrographs of HeLa cells transfected with FLAG-tagged MFN2(ΔTM). Cells were immunostained for endogenous ABCD3 (Alexa Fluor 647) and FLAG (Alexa Fluor 555). Representative confocal micrographs of HeLa cells transfected with (d) or without (c) MFN2(ΔTM)-FLAG. MFN2-EGFP was overexpressed to induce mitochondrion-peroxisome clustering in both conditions. Cells were stained for ABCD3 and MFN2(ΔTM)-FLAG. e The statistics of cell numbers in different stages were analyzed for experiments in c (n = 240 cells) and d (n = 106 cells).
