An ubiquitin-dependent balance between mitofusin turnover and fatty acids desaturation regulates mitochondrial fusion
Mitochondrial fusion is crucial for cellular homeostasis but its regulation is still not fully understood. Here the authors report that a cross-talk between ubiquitin protease Ubp2 and ligases Mdm30 and Rsp5 modulates mitofusin Fzo1 levels and fatty acids saturation and thus mitochondrial fusion.
