A Novel Dynamin-Related Protein Has Been Recruited for Apicoplast Fission in Toxoplasma gondii
2009, Current BiologyCitation Excerpt :Instead, existing plastids divide to give rise to daughter organelles that partition into daughter cells upon cell division. Previously studied plastids contain an FtsZ-based division apparatus retained from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont [1]. In addition, plant and red algal plastid division involves a dynamin-like protein called ARC5 (also known as DRP5B [2, 3]).
Cell Biology of Mitochondrial Dynamics
2006, International Review of CytologyCitation Excerpt :However, across all eukaryotes, mitochondrial FtsZs (MtFtsZs) have been conserved in numerous lineages. Mitochondrial FtsZs were first described in the chromophyte alga Mallomonas splendens (MsFtsZ‐mt; Beech and Gilson, 2000; Beech et al., 2000) and Cyanidioschyzon merolae (CmFtsZ1‐1; Takahara et al., 2000), the former found as puncta or medial rings within mitochondria (Beech et al., 2000), and the latter as a medial ring in the single C. merolae mitochondrion which constricts as mitochondrian division progresses (Nishida et al., 2003, 2004). Genetic evidence of a role for FtsZ in mitochondrian division came from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, which has two MtFtsZs, FszA and FszB (Gilson et al., 2003).
