Short Name | Caf4 |
description | Caf4 is a WD40 repeats containing protein involved in mitochondrial fission. It displays physical interactions with CCR4-NOT complex []. It has a paralogue, Mdv1. Both Caf4 and Mdv1 act as adapter proteins, binding to Fis1 on the mitochondrial outer membrane and recruiting the dynamin-like GTPase Dnm1 to form mitochondrial fission complexes []. However, Fis1 and Caf4, but not Mdv1, determine the polar localization of Dnm1 clusters on the mitochondrial surface []. |
