Fatty acyl-coenzyme A activates mitochondrial division through oligomerization of MiD49 and MiD51 (2024)

Liu et al. find that long-chain acyl-coenzyme A activates two mitochondrial fission proteins, MiD49 and MiD51, by inducing their oligomerization. This activates their ability to stimulate DRP1 GTPase activity and triggers mitochondrial division.
