N2 - The mechanochemical GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) catalyzes mitochondrial fission, but the regulatory mechanisms remain ambiguous. Here we found that a conserved, intrinsically disordered, six-residue
S hort
Li near
M otif at the extreme Drp1 C-terminus, named CT-SLiM, constitutes a critical allosteric site that controls Drp1 structure and function
in vitro and
in vivo . Extension of the CT-SLiM by non-native residues, or its interaction with the protein partner GIPC-1, constrains Drp1 subunit conformational dynamics, alters self-assembly properties, and limits cooperative GTP hydrolysis, leading to the fission of model membranes
in vitro .
In vivo , the availability of the native CT-SLiM is a requirement for productive mitochondrial fission, as both non-native extension and deletion of the CT-SLiM severely impair its progression. Thus, contrary to prevailing models, Drp1-catalyzed mitochondrial fission relies on allosteric communication mediated by the CT-SLiM, deceleration of GTPase activity, and coupled changes in subunit architecture and assembly-disassembly dynamics.
