    Background

    Mitochondria continuously divide and fuse. This dynamic process is highly regulated in response to various physiological cues (1,2). The GTPase OPA1 mediates the fusion of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Constitutive proteolytic processes mediated by OMA1 (S1 site) and YME1L (S2 site) convert long isoforms (L-OPA1) into short isforms (S-OPA1). The balance between L-OPA1 and S-OPA1 is required to maintain a normal morphology of mitochondria (3,4).OMA1 is synthesized as a precursor and processed into a mature form (5,6). OMA1 is constitutively active and cleaves L-OPA1 at the S1 site. However, various stress stimuli can further activate OMA1 and result in the rapid and complete conversion of L-OPA1 into S-OPA1, which inhibits fusion and causes mitochondrial fragmentation (6).
