Protein
Mitochondrial fission 1 protein
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Has a role in mitochondrial fission. Has a role in outer membrane fission but not matrix separation. Required for targeting MDV1 to the mitochondria. Regulates the assembly of DNM1 into punctate structures, in the mitochondrial tubules, promoting mitochondrial membrane constriction and/or division.
Similarity
Belongs to the FIS1 family.
