The mitochondrial division machinery regulates mitochondrial dynamics and consists of Fis1p, Mdv1p, and Dnm1p. Mitochondrial division relies on the recruitment of the dynamin-related protein Dnm1p to mitochondria. Dnm1p recruitment depends on the mitochondrial outer membrane protein Fis1p. Mdv1p interacts with Fis1p and Dnm1p, but is thought to act at a late step during fission because Mdv1p is dispensable for Dnm1p localization. We identify the WD40 repeat protein Caf4p as a Fis1p-associated protein that localizes to mitochondria in a Fis1p-dependent manner. Caf4p interacts with each component of the fission apparatus: with Fis1p and Mdv1p through its NH2-terminal half and with Dnm1p through its COOH-terminal WD40 domain. We demonstrate that mdv1 yeast contain residual mitochondrial fission due to the redundant activity of Caf4p. Moreover, recruitment of Dnm1p to mitochondria is disrupted in mdv1 caf4 yeast, demonstrating that Mdv1p and Caf4p are molecular adaptors that recruit Dnm1p to mitochondrial fission sites. Our studies support a revised model for assembly of the mitochondrial fission apparatus.

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo fusion and fission. These processes intermix the mitochondria within cells and control their morphology. In addition to controlling mitochondrial shape, recent studies have also implicated components of the fission machinery in regulation of programmed cell death (Frank et al., 2001; Fannjiang et al., 2004; Jagasia et al., 2005). Genetic approaches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified DNM1, FIS1, and MDV1 as components of the mitochondrial fission pathway (Shaw and Nunnari, 2002). Dnm1p and its mammalian homologue Drp1 are members of the extensively studied dynamin family of large, oligomeric GTPases. Although the precise mechanism remains controversial, dynamins may couple GTP hydrolysis to a conformational constriction that causes membrane scission (Praefcke and McMahon, 2004). In yeast cells, Dnm1p dynamically localizes to dozens of puncta that are primarily associated with mitochondria (Otsuga et al., 1998; Bleazard et al., 1999; Sesaki and Jensen, 1999; Legesse-Miller et al., 2003). A subset of these puncta are sites of future fission.

/ P& X0 q% I! z+ N/ IThe assembly of functional Dnm1p complexes on mitochondria is a critical issue in understanding the mechanism of mitochondrial fission. The mitochondrial outer membrane protein Fis1p is required for the formation of normal Dnm1p puncta on mitochondria. In fis1 cells, Dnm1p puncta are primarily cytosolic or form abnormally large aggregates on mitochondria (Fekkes et al., 2000; Mozdy et al., 2000; Tieu and Nunnari, 2000). Mdv1p interacts with Fis1p through its NH2-terminal half and with Dnm1p through its COOH-terminal WD40 domain. However, Mdv1p appears dispensable for Dnm1p assembly on mitochondria because mdv1 cells show little or no change in Dnm1p localization, even though mitochondrial fission is disrupted (Fekkes et al., 2000; Tieu and Nunnari, 2000; Tieu et al., 2002; Cerveny and Jensen, 2003). These observations have led to two important features of a recently proposed model for mitochondrial fission (Shaw and Nunnari, 2002; Tieu et al., 2002; Osteryoung and Nunnari, 2003). First, Fis1p acts to assemble and distribute Dnm1p on mitochondria in an Mdv1p-independent step. Second, Mdv1p acts downstream of Dnm1p localization to stimulate membrane scission. An alternative model proposes that Dnm1p marks the site of mitochondrial fission and recruits Fis1p and Mdv1p into an active fission complex (Cerveny and Jensen, 2003). Again, in this model Mdv1p functions downstream of Dnm1p localization.

! z/ L0 O" k: P+ tDespite extensive efforts, however, there is no evidence that Fis1p can interact directly with Dnm1p. We speculated that there may be an additional component of the mitochondrial fission pathway required for the Fis1p-dependent assembly of Dnm1p puncta on mitochondria. Because a genome-wide screen for mitochondrial morphology mutants (Dimmer et al., 2002) did not yield obvious candidates, we used a biochemical approach to identify additional components of the mitochondrial fission machinery. Using immunopurification and mass spectrometry, we have identified the WD40 repeat protein Caf4p as a Fis1p-interacting protein. Caf4p localizes to mitochondria and associates with Fis1p, Mdv1p, and Dnm1p. Moreover, we show that mdv1 cells are only partially deficient in mitochondrial fission due to the redundant activity of Caf4p. Importantly, Caf4p mediates recruitment of Dnm1p puncta to mitochondria in mdv1 yeast. Inclusion of CAF4 significantly clarifies the current models for mitochondrial fission.

To identify Fis1p-associated proteins by multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT) (Link et al., 1999; Graumann et al., 2004), we constructed a yeast strain containing endogenous Fis1p with an NH2-terminal tandem affinity tag (Fig. 1 A). NH2-terminal tagging is necessary because FIS1 is nonfunctional when COOH-terminally tagged (unpublished data). We first designed a recombination cassette containing 9XMyc/TEV/URA3/TEV/His8 modules (Fig. 1 A). After targeted integration into the FIS1 locus, spontaneous and precise recombination between the flanking 50-bp tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease sites excises URA3. This strategy was used to generate a yeast strain (DCY1557) that expresses a functional Fis1p with an NH2-terminal 9XMyc/TEV/His8 tag (M9TH-Fis1p) from the endogenous locus.8 a. E4 a& J  \. Z

Fis1p was identified in both experiments (61.3% coverage, 14 unique peptides; 58.7% coverage, 9 unique peptides). Mdv1p, a previously identified member of the mitochondrial fission pathway and a known Fis1p-interacting protein, was also identified in both experiments (22.1% coverage, 12 unique peptides; 10.2% coverage, 5 unique peptides). These data confirmed that our MudPIT procedure could preserve and identify Fis1p complexes relevant to mitochondrial fission. Dnm1p was not observed in either dataset, in agreement with previous immunoprecipitation experiments (Mozdy et al., 2000).

[4 m3 o4 z3 _6 CInterestingly, peptides derived from the WD40 repeat protein Caf4p were identified in both Fis1p MudPIT experiments (24.4% coverage, 9 unique peptides; 8.5% coverage, 3 unique peptides). CAF4 (YKR036C) was first identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen for CCR4p-interacting proteins (Liu et al., 2001). CCR4p is a central component of the CCR4-NOT transcriptional regulator and cytosolic deadenylase complex (Denis and Chen, 2003). Caf4p is the nearest homologue of Mdv1p in S. cerevisiae (38% identity and 57% similarity), and the two proteins show extensive sequence identity throughout their lengths (Fig. 1 B). Both proteins share a unique NH2-terminal extension (NTE) (25.3% identity), a central coiled-coil (CC) domain (19% identity) and a COOH-terminal WD40 repeat domain (44.4% identity). The Caf4p CC scores significantly more weakly (0.3 probability) than the Mdv1p coiled coil (1.0 probability) in the MultiCoil prediction program (Wolf et al., 1997).

Previous yeast two-hybrid analysis determined that the NTE/CC region of Mdv1p (residues 1–300) is responsible for its interaction with Fis1p (Tieu et al., 2002). We detected the same interaction by coimmunoprecipitation (Fig. 2 A, lane 11). Additionally, we found that the analogous region of Caf4p (residues 1–274) also interacted with Fis1p (Fig. 2 A, lane 8). A shorter Caf4p fragment lacking the majority of the predicted coiled coil (residues 1–250) interacted equally well with Fis1p (unpublished data). In contrast, Fis1p did not bind to the COOH-terminal regions of either Mdv1p or Caf4p (Fig. 2 A, lanes 9 and 12). These data suggest that both Caf4p and Mdv1p likely interact with Fis1p through a common mechanism involving the NTE domain.! u% h+ D9 L6 ~4 v! d, L

Full-length Caf4p and an NTE/CC fragment of Caf4p interacted strongly with the cytosolic portion of Fis1p (residues 1–128), consistent with our immunoprecipitation data. Similar interactions were observed between Fis1p and both full-length Mdv1p and the NTE/CC region of Mdv1p, as has been previously reported (Tieu et al., 2002; Cerveny and Jensen, 2003). The WD40 domain of both Mdv1p and Caf4p interacted strongly with Dnm1p. However, full-length Mdv1p interacted more weakly and an interaction between full-length Caf4p and Dnm1p was not detected. These results suggest that the interaction of the WD40 domain with Dnm1p is regulated and may be inhibited by the NH2-terminal region of Caf4p and Mdv1p.

Approximately 5% of Caf4p-HA and Caf4p-N-HA (residues 1–274), but not Caf4-C-HA (residues 275–659), coimmunoprecipitate with full-length Caf4p-HTM (Fig. 2 B, lanes 13–15). A similar level of Mdv1p-HA and Mdv1p-N-HA (residues 1–300), but not Mdv1-C-HA (residues 301–714), coimmunoprecipitated with Mdv1p-HTM (Fig. 2 B, lanes 16–18). When Caf4p-HTM was precipitated, 1% of Mdv1p-HA and Mdv1p-N-HA, but not Mdv1p-C-HA, coprecipitated (Fig. 2 B, lanes 10–12). Similarly, when Mdv1p-HTM was precipitated, 1% of Caf4p-HA and Caf4p-N-HA, but not Caf4p-C-HA, coprecipitated (Fig. 2 B, lanes 7–9). Moreover, the NTE/CC regions of Caf4p and Mdv1p interact in the two-hybrid assay (Table I). Therefore, Caf4p interacts with all three members of the fission pathway, with the NH2-terminal region mediating interactions with Fis1p, Mdv1p, and homotypic interactions with Caf4p.: `' `$ Q' i+ l5 M.

Given that Caf4p interacts with Fis1p, Mdv1p, and Dnm1p, we hypothesized that Caf4p, like Mdv1p, is a component of the mitochondrial division apparatus. caf4 yeast, however, display normal mitochondrial morphology, with tubular mitochondria evenly dispersed around the cell cortex (Fig. 3). Wild-type mitochondrial morphology was also observed at elevated temperatures and on carbon sources other than dextrose (glycerol or galactose; unpublished data). This observation is not surprising, given that CAF4 was not identified in a genome-wide screen of deletion strains for mitochondrial morphology mutants (Dimmer et al., 2002).

0 k+ p$ X1 W2 u( P, d0 KWe next tested whether caf4 cells show synthetic defects in mitochondrial morphology when other components of the fission machinery are deleted. Yeast defective in mitochondrial fission display net-like mitochondrial morphology due to unopposed mitochondrial fusion (Bleazard et al., 1999; Sesaki and Jensen, 1999). These mitochondrial nets can have a spread morphology (Fig. 3, C and D), or they can collapse to one side of the cell (Fig. 3 B). Although FIS1, DNM1, and MDV1 are all involved in mitochondrial fission, we found that mdv1 cells have a distribution of mitochondrial profiles that can be readily distinguished from both fis1 and dnm1 cells (Fig. 3). In rich dextrose medium, almost all fis1 or dnm1 cells (93 and 90%, respectively) contain collapsed mitochondrial nets. In contrast, less than half of mdv1 cells contain collapsed nets, with the majority displaying a spread net morphology. The spread nets range in morphology from interconnected tubules with several loops (Fig. 3 C) to networks with complex fenestrations (Fig. 3 D). mdv1 dnm1 cells behave identically to dnm1 cells, with >90% collapsed nets in dextrose (Fig. 3). This observation indicates that the dnm1 collapsed net phenotype is epistatic to the mdv1 spread net phenotype. In rich galactose medium (unpublished data), a greater portion of all strains contain spread nets, but again mdv1 cells have a higher percentage of cells with spread nets (80%) compared with fis1 (45.5%), dnm1 (53%), or mdv1dnm1 cells (40.5%). These results agree with a previous report that mdv1 cells have more spread nets compared with dnm1 cells in galactose medium (Cerveny et al., 2001). However, this study found that the mdv1 spread net phenotype is epistatic to the dnm1 collapsed net phenotype (Cerveny et al., 2001). The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but we note the mdv1 morphology is most distinct in dextrose cultures.7 `4 @( ]8 t/ ^& Z9 m/ B1 D" ^

# Q+ r# m& a$ i, k( W0 uMost interestingly, we found that mdv1 caf4 cells have mitochondrial net distributions indistinguishable from either dnm1 cells or fis1 cells. Deletion of CAF4 in mdv1 cells markedly shifts the distribution to one composed almost entirely of collapsed mitochondrial nets (>90% in dextrose, Fig. 3). Our results support a model in which partial reduction of mitochondrial fission results in predominantly spread mitochondrial nets, and complete loss of fission eventually results in collapse of the nets. That is, mdv1 cells retain residual mitochondrial fission, whereas mdv1 caf4 cells are devoid of fission, similar to dnm1, fis1, or mdv1 dnm1 cells. An analogous situation appears to exist in mammalian cells, in which weak Drp1 dominant-negative alleles cause the formation of spread nets, whereas strong dominant-negative alleles cause nets to collapse (Smirnova et al., 2001).# L* ?+ j; m5 b7 i# `9 X* O) I

We tested this model by reanalyzing mitochondrial morphologies in the presence of latrunculin A, which disrupts the actin cytoskeleton. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton leads to rapid fragmentation of the mitochondrial network due to ongoing mitochondrial fission (Boldogh et al., 1998; Jensen et al., 2000). Latrunculin A treatment rapidly resolves a fraction of collapsed nets into spread nets (Jensen et al., 2000; Cerveny et al., 2001), and allows a closer examination of the degree of connectivity in mitochondrial nets. Similarly, in mammalian cells, collapsed mitochondrial nets induced by overexpression of dominant-negative Drp1 can be spread by the microtubule-depolymerizing agent nocodazole (Smirnova et al., 2001). Both wild-type and caf4 yeast treated with latrunculin A show mitochondrial fragmentation (Fig. 4). 80% of mdv1 cells treated with latrunculin A contain partial mitochondrial nets (Fig. 4 E, partial net) that are less interconnected and have fewer fenestrations than the collapsed or spread nets that predominate in latrunculin A–treated dnm1 or fis1 cells. 95% of latrunculin A–treated mdv1 caf4 cells show either collapsed nets or highly fenestrated spread nets, a profile indistinguishable from that in dnm1 or fis1 cells (Fig. 4). Thus, after disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, mdv1 yeast display a distribution of mitochondrial morphologies that suggest an incomplete defect in mitochondrial fission. In contrast, mdv1 caf4 yeast have mitochondrial morphologies similar to that in fis1 and dnm1 yeast. We conclude that CAF4 mediates low levels of mitochondrial fission in mdv1 cells.  {' a) m% p8 o8 l- T

We next monitored the mitochondrial network in mdv1 cells by time-lapse microscopy to assess the levels of mitochondrial fission. In pilot experiments, we found that free mitochondrial ends produced by fission events in mdv1 cells were rapidly involved in fusion events, making unambiguous documentation of fission difficult. Because latrunculin A reduces the levels of fusion and thereby should prolong the presence of free mitochondrial ends, we monitored mitochondrial dynamics in latrunculin A–treated mdv1 cells carrying the outer membrane marker OM45-GFP. In 8 out of 10 mdv1 cells, we observed at least one fission event in a 30-min recording period (Fig. 4, F–H; Videos 1 and 2, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200503148/DC1). Due to the complexity and rapid rearrangements of the mitochondrial networks in these cells (see Videos 1 and 2), these numbers likely underestimate the actual levels of fission. In contrast, no fission events were observed in 8 mdv1 caf4 cells. We conclude that the ability of CAF4 to mediate mitochondrial fission events contributes significantly to the spread net morphology of mdv1 cells.

Because overexpression of Mdv1p or Mdv1p fragments inhibits mitochondrial fission (Cerveny and Jensen, 2003), we next tested the effects of Caf4p overproduction. Caf4p-HA under the control of the GalL promoter was expressed 20 times above endogenous levels in rich galactose medium (unpublished data). Spread mitochondrial nets formed in 23.5% of cells (Fig. 5 C). An additional 38% of cells had an intermediate phenotype that we termed "connected tubules," consisting of a completely interconnected mitochondrial network in which no tubular ends were detected (Fig. 5 B). Overexpression of an NH2-terminal fragment that interacts with Fis1p (residues 1–250; unpublished data) had a similar effect (9% spread nets, 33% connected tubules; Fig. 5), suggesting that the formation of mitochondrial net-like structures may result from a dominant-negative effect on Fis1p function. A similar distribution of mitochondrial phenotypes resulted from 20-fold overproduction of Mdv1p-HA (7.5% spread nets and 24.5% interconnected tubules) and an Mdv1p-HA NH2-terminal fragment (5% spread nets and 39% interconnected tubules; unpublished data). These data confirm that Caf4p interacts with the mitochondrial fission apparatus.$ V& O9 ?% c* ~4 U3 }( H3 V, _/ M

% L! T# i- R1 F/ N3 i0 ^2 aYeast fission mutants are able to suppress the glycerol growth defect of cells deficient in mitochondrial fusion (Bleazard et al., 1999). Indeed, MDV1 was originally identified because of its ability to suppress the glycerol growth defect of strains carrying temperature-sensitive fzo1 or mgm1 alleles (Fekkes et al., 2000; Mozdy et al., 2000; Tieu and Nunnari, 2000; Cerveny et al., 2001). Deletion of MDV1 has previously been reported to suppress the glycerol growth defect of fzo1 cells less efficiently than deletion of DNM1 (Cerveny et al., 2001). To further test our hypothesis that mdv1 cells have only a partial loss of mitochondrial fission, we compared the efficiencies with which the mdv1 and dnm1 mutations suppress the glycerol growth defect of fzo1 cells. Diploids were sporulated, genotyped, and scored by serial dilution for their ability to grow on glycerol plates relative to dextrose plates (Fig. 6). As expected, all wild-type and no fzo1 spores grew on glycerol plates. Of 17 mdv1 fzo1 spores tested, 7 showed no detectable growth on glycerol and an additional 4 spores grew very poorly, with 20% survival on glycerol. More than half of dnm1 fzo1 spores grew robustly on glycerol plates, with between 20 and 50% cell survival. Most importantly, the triple mutant mdv1 caf4 fzo1 spores grew much more robustly than the mdv1 fzo1 spores, with all spores growing on glycerol and the majority between 20 and 50% cell survival. The markedly enhanced bypass suppression of fzo1 by mdv1 caf4 double mutations compared with the mdv1 mutation provides genetic evidence that mdv1 cells retain residual mitochondrial fission due to the activity of Caf4p.8 o/ z9 `& K' @3 b& S2 P3 n

We next sought to determine the subcellular localization of Caf4p. Caf4p was detected in highly purified mitochondrial preparations (Sickmann et al., 2003), and a Caf4p-GFP fusion generated in a genome-wide analysis localizes to mitochondria (Huh et al., 2003). We confirmed the mitochondrial localization of Caf4p-GFP, but did not study it further because the GFP fusion protein was not functional when expressed from the CAF4 locus (unpublished data). We instead used immunofluorescence to localize Myc-tagged versions of Caf4p and Mdv1p (termed Caf4p-HTM and Mdv1p-HTM) that are expressed from the endogenous locus and are functional. Caf4p-HTM and Mdv1p-HTM showed clear mitochondrial localization (Fig. 7). When cells were grown in rich dextrose medium, both Caf4p-HTM and Mdv1p-HTM displayed a largely uniform mitochondrial distribution with occasional areas of increased intensity. In rich galactose medium, Caf4p-HTM and Mdv1p-HTM localize in a more punctate pattern on mitochondria (Fig. 7, M–R). Caf4p-HTM partially colocalizes with Dnm1-GFP puncta (Fig. 7, S–U). In fis1 cells grown in either dextrose or galactose media, both Caf4p-HTM and Mdv1p-HTM are found predominantly in the cytosol (Fig. 7, D–F and J–L). In some cells, however, low levels of residual localization to mitochondria could be discerned (e.g., Fig. 7, D–F). In fis1 mutant yeast, overexpressed GFP-Mdv1p is diffusely cytosolic but also retains some localization to mitochondria (Tieu and Nunnari, 2000; Tieu et al., 2002). Together, these data indicate that the normal mitochondrial localization of both Caf4p and Mdv1p depends largely on Fis1p, although some low levels of residual localization can occur in the absence of Fis1p.

4 o' n& u. ^& b- G1 k/ TTo understand the mechanism of mitochondrial fission, it is crucial to elucidate how Dnm1p is recruited to mitochondria. Given that Mdv1p associates with both Fis1p and Dnm1p, it is puzzling that Dnm1p assembly on mitochondria shows little or no dependence on Mdv1p (Fekkes et al., 2000; Mozdy et al., 2000; Tieu and Nunnari, 2000; Tieu et al., 2002; Cerveny and Jensen, 2003). With the identification of Caf4p as a component of the fission machinery, we reexamined this issue. We constructed a fully functional Dnm1p-GFP allele and analyzed its localization pattern using deconvolution microscopy (Table II). Similar to previous reports (Otsuga et al., 1998), Dnm1p-GFP is found predominantly in puncta associated with mitochondria (average 16.9 mitochondrial vs. 3.3 cytosolic puncta per cell) (Table II and Fig. 8, A–C). Deletion of CAF4 or MDV1 alone had little effect on this localization (15.4 mitochondrial vs. 5.2 cytosolic and 13.7 mitochondrial vs. 5.1 cytosolic per cell, respectively; Table II and Fig. 8, D–I). In all these strains, the Dnm1p puncta are relatively uniform in size and intensity.

In contrast, fis1 mutants showed dramatic defects, with the majority of the puncta now cytosolic (4.9 mitochondrial vs. 9.6 cytosolic) (Table II and Fig. 8, J–L). As has been previously noted, a small fraction of Dnm1p still localizes to mitochondria in fis1 cells (Tieu et al., 2002; Cerveny and Jensen, 2003), suggesting that Dnm1p may be recruited by a second pathway, perhaps through an intrinsic affinity for mitochondrial lipids or an unidentified mitochondrial binding partner. Importantly, a similar defect in Dnm1p localization was found in mdv1 caf4 cells (4.8 mitochondrial vs. 10.4 cytosolic per cell) (Table II and Fig. 8, M–O). In both fis1 and mdv1 caf4 cells, Dnm1p-GFP forms a few large aggregates and numerous less intense puncta. Similar results were obtained using immunofluorescence against a Dnm1p-HTM protein (unpublished data). These data clearly demonstrate that either Caf4p or Mdv1p is sufficient for effective recruitment of Dnm1p to mitochondria, and that Caf4p is essential for Mdv1p-independent recruitment of Dnm1p by Fis1p.5 O8 Z4 ^' l8 h% s6 j" \8 o9 L

By applying affinity purification and mass spectrometry to Fis1p, we have identified Caf4p as a novel component of the mitochondrial fission machinery. Our biochemical and genetic characterization indicate that CAF4 functions in the same manner as MDV1 in mitochondrial fission. Biochemically, both proteins interact with Fis1p and Dnm1p. Caf4p and Mdv1p share a common domain architecture comprised of an NTE, a central CC, and a COOH-terminal WD40 repeat. The NH2-terminal regions mediate oligomerization and association with Fis1p, whereas the COOH-terminal WD40 regions mediate interactions with Dnm1p. In addition, both Caf4p and Mdv1p localize to mitochondria in a Fis1p-dependent manner.

Genetically, both MDV1 and CAF4 act positively in the mitochondrial fission pathway. mdv1 cells are dramatically compromised for mitochondrial fission, but a residual level of fission is mediated by CAF4. This residual fission activity is revealed by the observation that mdv1 yeast have a less severe mitochondrial morphology defect compared with fis1 or dnm1 yeast. In contrast, mdv1 caf4 yeast display predominantly collapsed mitochondrial nets, identical to those seen in fis1 and dnm1 cells. Time-lapse imaging of mitochondria in mdv1 cells indeed reveals a residual level of fission that is absent from mdv1 caf4 cells. These results directly support our conclusion that the morphology differences between mdv1 cells versus mdv1 caf4, fis1, and dnm1 cells are primarily due to differences in fission rates. It is also possible that the proposed role of Dnm1p in cortical distribution of mitochondria may contribute in part to the morphological differences (Otsuga et al., 1998). The mdv1 mutation acts as a weak suppressor of the glycerol growth defect in fzo1 cells. The mdv1 caf4 double mutation suppresses this phenotype much more efficiently. Based on these physical interaction and genetic data, we conclude that Caf4p likely acts in a similar manner to Mdv1p to promote mitochondrial fission.

Why are there two proteins that appear to perform similar and partially redundant roles in mitochondrial fission This question is particularly intriguing because caf4 yeast have normal mitochondrial morphology, indicating that disruption of Caf4p does not cause a major loss of mitochondrial fission. First, CAF4 may play a more important role in mitochondrial fission under conditions not yet tested. Second, the presence of two proteins mediating interactions between Fis1p and Dnm1p would increase the ability of cells to accurately regulate the rate of mitochondrial fission. The heterotypic and homotypic interactions between Caf4p and Mdv1p may provide an additional layer of regulation. Finally, Caf4p may have an additional function in another pathway. Previous two-hybrid studies have implicated Caf4p in the CCR4-NOT complex, which is thought to be involved in regulation of transcription and/or mRNA processing (Liu et al., 2001).) y% w' ^!

A revised model for mitochondrial fission

The current models for mitochondrial fission propose that Mdv1p acts late in the fission pathway. One model proposes a two-step pathway in which Fis1p first recruits Dnm1p, in an Mdv1p-independent manner. Mdv1p then acts as a molecular adaptor at a post-recruitment step, along with Fis1p, to promote fission by Dnm1p (Shaw and Nunnari, 2002; Tieu et al., 2002; Osteryoung and Nunnari, 2003). A second model also proposes that Mdv1p acts after Dnm1p recruitment to organize an active fission complex (Cerveny and Jensen, 2003).1 X$ z  U& z! D4 O) Z9 Q$ f
& ^# [1 O8 {! q$ k# a/ l
Our study reveals a new role for Mdv1p and Caf4p early in mitochondrial fission. Fis1p recruits Dnm1p to mitochondrial fission complexes through Mdv1p or Caf4p, which act as molecular adaptors. This revised model is strongly supported by our demonstration that Dnm1p recruitment in mdv1 yeast depends on Caf4p function. In the absence of both Mdv1p and Caf4p, Fis1p is unable to recruit Dnm1p.8 l* [) G: S1 Q, F3 T6 ^
& W$ u1 P% |/ C/ R. }! D
Although Mdv1p and Caf4p clearly act early in the fission pathway, there is evidence that at least Mdv1p has a subsequent role in the activation of fission, as previously proposed (Shaw and Nunnari, 2002; Tieu et al., 2002; Cerveny and Jensen, 2003). In caf4 cells, Mdv1p recruits Dnm1p to fission complexes, and fission occurs at apparently normal levels. However, in mdv1 cells, Caf4p is similarly able to recruit Dnm1p to fission complexes, but mitochondrial fission is severely compromised. Therefore, Mdv1p and Caf4p can independently recruit Dnm1p, but complexes recruited by Mdv1p appear to be more highly active. These observations suggest that Dnm1p recruitment by itself is insufficient for fission to occur. Indeed, studies of Dnm1p dynamics indicates that most Dnm1p puncta do not result in fission (Legesse-Miller et al., 2003). Our identification of Caf4p as part of the fission machinery clarifies the early steps in mitochondrial fission. Future studies will need to define the additional steps beyond Dnm1p recruitment necessary for fission.

The M9TH cassette was generated as follows. Primers Eg258 (see Table S3, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200503148/DC1) and Eg259 were used to amplify URA3 from pRS416 (Stratagene). Eg260 and Eg4, an FZO1 reverse primer, were used to amplify a TEV/His8 module from EG704 (pRS414   9XMyc/TEV/His8-FZO1). The 3' end of the URA3 product overlaps by 18 bp with the 5' end of the TEV/His8 product. This overlap allows them to anneal together and be amplified in a second PCR with the primers Eg258 and Eg4. The URA3/TEV/His8 product was cloned into pRS403 as an EcoRV/SalI fragment (which removes all FZO1 sequence), resulting in EG928. 9xMyc/TEV was amplified with Eg256 and Eg260 from EG704 and fused to the 5' end of URA3 (Eg258/259 product) by mixing and amplifying with Eg256 and Eg259. The resulting product was cloned into EG928 as an EcoRV/EcoRI fragment, yielding EG940 (pRS403 9xMyc/TEV/URA3/TEV/His8). EG940 was converted to pRS403 3xMyc/TEV/URA3/TEV/His8 by digesting with Xba1, yielding EG957.
