Mitochondria and peroxisomes are highly dynamic, multifunctional organelles. Both perform key roles for cellular physiology and homoeostasis by mediating bioenergetics, biosynthesis, and/or signalling. To support cellular function, they must be properly distributed, of proper size, and be able to interact with other organelles. Accumulating evidence suggests that the small atypical GTPase Miro provides a central signalling node to coordinate mitochondrial as well as peroxisomal dynamics. In this review, I summarize our current understanding of Miro-dependent functions and molecular mechanisms underlying the proper distribution, size and function of mitochondria and peroxisomes.
线粒体和过氧化物酶体是高度动态的多功能细胞器。它们通过介导生物能量学、生物合成和/或信号转导,对细胞生理学和内稳态起着关键作用。为了支持细胞功能,它们必须正确分布,具有适当的大小,并能够与其他细胞器相互作用。越来越多的证据表明,小的非典型 GTP 酶 Miro 提供了一个中央信号节点,以协调线粒体和过氧化物酶体的动力学。在这篇综述中,我总结了我们目前对 Miro 依赖性功能以及线粒体和过氧化物酶体正确分布、大小和功能的分子机制的理解。
