Dynamins combine mechano-constriction and membrane remodeling to enable two-step mitochondrial fission via a snap-through instability.

Haleh Alimohamadi, Elizabeth Wei-Chia Luo, Xiaoying Liu, Wasi Iqbal, Rena Yang, Shivam Gupta, Kelsey A Nolden, Taraknath Mandal, R. Blake Hill, Liting Duan, Gerard C. L. Wong

This study shows how dynamin proteins use mechano-constriction and membrane curvature to drive mitochondrial fission through a snap-through instability.

Synaptotagmin 7 outperforms synaptotagmin 1 to open and stabilize nascent fusion pores via robust membrane penetration

Kevin C. Courtney, Taraknath Mandal, Nikunj Mehta, Lanxi Wu, Yueqi Li, Debasis Das, Qiang Cui, Edwin R. Chapman

This study compares synaptotagmin-1 and synaptotagmin-7, finding that synaptotagmin-7 more effectively penetrates membranes and stabilizes fusion pores during exocytosis.
