Descripción
Mitofusins (Mfn1 and Mfn2) are the mitochondrial outer-membrane fusion proteins in mammals and belong to the dynamin superfamily of multidomain GTPases. Recent structural studies of truncated variants lacking alpha helical transmembrane domains suggested that Mfns dimerize to promote the approximation and the fusion of the mitochondrial outer membranes upon the hydrolysis of guanine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt (GTP). However, next to the presence of GTP, the fusion activity seems to require multiple regulatory factors that control the dynamics and kinetics of mitochondrial fusion through the formation of Mfn1–Mfn2 heterodimers. Here, we purified and reconstituted the full-length murine Mfn2 protein into giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) with different lipid compositions. The incubation with GTP resulted in the fusion of Mfn2-GUVs. High-speed video-microscopy showed that the Mfn2-dependent membrane fusion pathway progressed through a zipper mechanism where the formation and growth of an adhesion patch eventually led to the formation of a membrane opening at the rim of the septum. The presence of physiological concentration (up to 30 mol%) of dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) was shown to be a requisite to observe GTP-induced Mfn2-dependent fusion. Our observations show that Mfn2 alone can promote the fusion of micron-sized DOPE-enriched Vesicles without the requirement of regulatory cofactors, such as membrane curvature, or the assistance of other proteins.
