摘要

Large GTPases of the dynamin superfamily promote membrane fusion and division, processes that are crucial for intracellular trafficking and organellar dynamics. To promote membrane scission, dynamin proteins polymerize, wrap around, and constrict the membrane; however, the mechanism underlying their role in membrane fusion remains unclear. We previously reported that the mitochondrial dynamin-related protein mitochondrial genome maintenance 1 (Mgm1) mediates fusion by first tethering opposing membranes and then undergoing a nucleotide-dependent structural transition. However, it is still unclear how Mgm1 directly affects the membrane to drive fusion of tethered membranes. Here, we show that Mgm1 association with the membrane alters the topography of the membrane, promoting local membrane bending. We also demonstrate that Mgm1 creates membrane ruffles resulting in the formation of tubular structures on both supported lipid bilayers and liposomes. These data suggest that Mgm1 membrane interactions impose a mechanical force on the membrane to overcome the hydrophilic repulsion of the phospholipid head groups and initiate the fusion reaction. The work reported here provides new insights into a possible mechanism of Mgm1-driven mitochondrial membrane fusion and sheds light into how members of the dynamin superfamily function as fusion molecules.
