15024001 Frieden M, James D, Castelbou C, Danckaert A, Martinou JC, Demaurex N: Ca (2+) homeostasis during mitochondrial fragmentation and perinuclear clustering induced by hFis1. J Biol Chem. 2004 May 21;279(21):22704-14. Epub 2004 Mar 15.

To study the effect of a controlled disruption of the mitochondrial network on Ca (2+) homeostasis, we took advantage of hFis1, a protein that promotes mitochondrial fission by recruiting the dynamin-related protein, Drp1. hFis1 expression in HeLa cells induced a rapid and complete fragmentation of mitochondria, which redistributed away from the plasma membrane and clustered around the nucleus.
Regardless of mitochondria shape and location, disruption of mitochondrial potential with uncouplers or oligomycin/rotenone reduced CCE by approximately 35%.
