Abstract

Mitochondrial inheritance, genome maintenance, and metabolic adaptation all depend on organelle fission by Dynamin-Related Protein 1 (DRP1) and its mitochondrial receptors. DRP1 receptors include the paralogs Mitochondrial Dynamics 49 and 51 (MID49/MID51) and Mitochondrial Fission Factor (MFF), but the mechanisms by which these proteins recruit DRP1 and regulate its activities are unknown. Here we present a cryoEM structure of human, full-length DRP1 bound to MID49 and an analysis of structure- and disease-based mutations. We report that GTP binding allosterically induces a remarkable elongation and rotation of the G-domain, Bundle-Signaling Element (BSE) and connecting hinge loops of DRP1. In this nucleotide-bound conformation, a distributed network of multivalent interactions promotes DRP1 copolymerization into a linear filament with MID49, MID51 or both. Subsequent GTP hydrolysis and exchange within the filament leads to receptor dissociation, shortening through disassembly, and concomitant curling of DRP1 oligomers into closed rings. The dimensions of the closed DRP1 rings are consistent with DRP1-constricted mitochondrial tubules observed in human cells. These structures are the first views of full-length, receptor- and nucleotide-bound dynamin-family GTPases and—in comparison with nucleotide-free crystal structures—teach us how these molecular machines perform mechanical work through nucleotide-driven allostery.

Introduction

Pioneering work in yeast and other model systems revealed that fragmentation of the mitochondrial reticulum disperses units of the organelle during cell division1–3, coordinates morphological adaptation with metabolic demand4–7, and quarantines damaged units for turnover8–10. Recent work also led to the discovery of the role mitochondrial fission plays in regulated cell death pathways11–19, brain development and synaptic function20–23, and how certain pathogens disrupt these processes and hijack mitochondrial resources24–26. Finally, there is a growing understanding of how interorganelle contacts between the ER and mitochondria initiate mitochondrial fission27,28, and how this process regulates mitochondrial genome duplication and integrity29,30. The master regulator that unites these processes across eukaryotic evolution is the membrane-remodeling GTPase DRP14,7,31–37.

DRP1 is necessary but not sufficient for mitochondrial fission because receptor proteins must recruit the enzyme to the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane (OMM). In mammals, these include the paralogs MItochondrial Dynamics proteins MID49 and MID51 or the Mitochondrial Fission Factor, MFF 32,35,38–41. Following receptor-dependent recruitment, DRP1 assembles into polymers that encircle mitochondria and, through still poorly understood mechanisms, channels energy from GTP binding, hydrolysis, and nucleotide exchange into a mechanochemical constriction13,41–46. In addition to DRP1 and its OMM receptors, a recent study revealed that a second member of the dynamin-family of GTPases, dynamin-2, enacts the final fission event downstream of DRPI-driven constriction of a mitochondrial tubule47. Thus, mitochondrial division is a stepwise reaction regulated by DRP1 receptor binding, oligomerization and nucleotide-dependent conformational dynamics.

We and others have reported that the OMM receptors MFF or MID49/51 are independently sufficient to recruit DRP1 in order to divide mitochondria38,39,41,48. We also reported that MID49/51 can coassemble with DRP1 forming a copolymer with a dramatically different morphology than reported for dynamin-family members41. While these results suggest that an adaptor protein could alter the architecture of a dynamin polymer to facilitate a mitochondria-specific activity, the architecture and functions of this coassembly remain unclear.

Here, we report the structural basis of DRP1 coassembly with MID49/MID51. Our cryoEM structure reveals how nucleotide binding to the G-domain induces conformational changes that allosterically propagate through the BSE to open and elongate DRP1 and thereby expose multiple receptor-binding surfaces. MID49/51 binding stabilizes a specific alignment of DRP1 tetramers to nucleate polymerization of a linear co-filament. Then, in a path-dependent reaction, we show how GTP hydrolysis and nucleotide exchange lead to conformational constriction by the polymer. Specifically, when DRP1 subunits within the cofilament exchange and hydrolyze nucleotide, they dissociate from MID49/51 receptors and the entire polymer dynamically shortens and curls into a closed ring. Analysis of structure-based and disease-causing mutations indicate that allosterically driven rearrangements of the stalk helices—and the critical L1NS loop—support curling from linear strings into constricted rings following receptor dissociation.

Results and Discussion

To date, many structural studies of dynamin-family proteins have relied upon mutated or truncated constructs to facilitate crystallization. We purified wild-type, full-length human DRP1 including the N-terminal GTPase domain (G-domain), Bundle Signaling Element (BSE), and four-helix bundle known as the stalk (Fig. 1a). This construct also contained the lipid binding ~100 amino acid region referred to as the variable domain (VD) that sits between the third and fourth alpha helices of the stalk, analogous to the Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain found in endocytic dynamin proteins. A crystal structure of a nucleotide-free and truncated DRP1 mutant revealed the organization of these domains and an overall similarity with the structure of nucleotide-free endocytic dynamin42,49,50. We also purified soluble truncations of MID49 and MID51 engineered to lack their N-terminal transmembrane anchors but include the cytoplasmic nucleotidyltransferase-like domain and the “Dynamin Recruitment Region” (DRR) required for DRP1 binding (Fig 1a)38,51–54.

Incubating equimolar ratios of DRP1 with soluble MID49126-454, MID51132-463, or both proteins together, in the presence of GTP resulted in cofilament assembly (Extended Data Figs. 1–2). We focused on the filaments formed with MID49126-454 in the presence of the non-hydrolyzable analog GMPPCP and determined their structure from cryoEM images (Extended Data Figs. 3–9 and Table 1). 3D reconstruction resolved elongated DRP1 dimers bound stoichiometrically to MID49126-454, without assignable density for the variable domain (Fig. 1b, Extended Data Fig. 4). Surprisingly, each chain of DRP1 bound MID49 at four different sites, and each MID49 in turn bound four DRP1 molecules to yield a vast and highly avid interaction network (Figs. 1b-c, Extended Data Figs. 4 and 8). MID49 binding to four separate DRP1 molecules stabilized a linear arrangement of inter-DRP1 interfaces reminiscent of those observed for other dynamin-family proteins by X-ray crystallography (Fig. 1b, Extended Data Figs. 4 and 8)42,49,50,55–57.

MID49’s DRR motif occupied the space between two neighboring G-domains and contacted both via MID-interaction interfaces 1 and 2 (buried surface areas of ~530Å2 and ~200 Å2, respectively, see Fig. 1b-d). The precise spacing required for this bivalent G-domain interaction explains why previous mutagenesis efforts suggested that the size and topology of the β4–α4 loop, rather than its exact sequence (which differs between MID49 and MID51) are critical determinants of binding. Single point mutations within this loop for MID49 and MID51 did not disrupt binding, while mutations that altered the length, topology or positioning of the loop did51,52,54. We found that mutating conserved DRP1 residues involved in interface 1—the energetically most significant interface—did prevent coassembly. Specifically, the D190A mutation should neutralize an interface 1 salt bridge and the D221A mutation should alter the conformation of an interface 1 loop (Fig. 1d). We observed that both mutants prevented assembly with MID49 and altered DRP1’s self-assembly properties (Extended Data Figs. 10–12).

Unexpectedly, MID49 also made contact with the stalk loops of a third and fourth DRP1 molecule through MID-interaction interfaces 3 and 4 (buried surface areas of ~450Å2 and ~230Å2, respectively, Fig. 1c, e, and f). The loops involved in both interaction interfaces 3 and 4 determine the assembly properties of higher-order dynamin-family oligomers 42,49,50,55–57. MID-interaction surface 3, in particular, harbors the conserved loop L1NS and is the site of multiple disease alleles that lead to elongated mitochondrial morphology, including G362D and G363D (Fig. 1e, Extended Data Figs. 10–11 and 58–60). Prior work has also established that this loop comprises part of the intra-molecular PH domain binding site for the soluble state of endocytic dynamin tetramers (Extended Data Fig. 13)57, and is a determinant of conformational heterogeneity for these and other dynamin-family proteins55,57,61. The presence of disease alleles near this interface suggests that these mutations may compromise receptor interactions and that defects in the recruitment of DRP1 to mitochondria may contribute to pathogenesis. As discussed below, we found that the G362D mutant (Fig. 1e) failed to coassemble with MID49 and displayed altered assembly and conformational properties (Extended Data Figs. 12–15).

Understanding the allosteric coupling between nucleotide binding, hydrolysis or exchange and the conformational repertoire of dynamin-family GTPases remains an unmet challenge62,63. We observed that the GMPPCP-bound G-domains and the BSE of DRP1 adopt strikingly different conformations in the cryoEM density compared to the nucleotide-free crystal structure42. In addition to other nucleotide-induced conformational changes within the G-domain, the most salient are the closing of the G2/switch-1 loop to form a closed “lid” over the nucleotide (Figs. 2a-c). The closure of the switch-1 lid propagates through the adjacent beta sheet to push the α-helices of the BSE into an orthogonal position (Extended Data Movie 1). When evaluated in the context of a stalk interface-2 DRP1 dimer, this conformational change is an impressive 90° rotation of the G-domain and a 40Å translation toward the stalk (Fig. 2d, Extended Data Movies 2-3). Two of the three DRP1 surfaces that engage the DRR of MID49 (MID receptor interaction interfaces 1 and 2, Figs. 1–2) are inaccessible in the nucleotide-free state but become available for binding upon nucleotide-driven elongation (Fig. 2d, Extended Data Movies 2-3).

(c) Overlay of A and B. Curved arrows highlight the closing of G2/switch 1 “lid” and the opening of the BSE “wrist”. (d) Global conformational change induced by nucleotide binding. Rotation and translation of the G-domain and BSE elongates the dimer and exposes MID-interaction surfaces 1 and 2 (annotated on separate monomers for clarity). The surfaces of the G-domains that engage MID receptors are rendered orange in the nucleotide-bound and elongated conformation.

Since DRP1’s ability to polymerize into linear filaments with MID49 or MID51 depended on non-hydrolyzable GTP analogs, we next evaluated the dynamics of these filaments in the presence of hydrolyzable GTP. Following copolymerization in the presence of the non-hydrolyzable analog, we exchanged GMPPCP for GTP through dialysis and followed the reaction using negative stain transmission electron microscopy at sequential time points until the GTP was exhausted. We observed that the linear DRP1-MID49 cofilaments disassembled into small oligomers upon complete hydrolysis to GDP and exhibited a fascinating dynamic instability at intermediate time points (Fig. 3). Specifically, the long and linear filaments seen at early time points disassembled into shorter, curling oligomers that—upon reaching a reproducibly narrow range of lengths—spontaneously closed into constricted rings that were remarkably uniform in diameter (Fig. 3).

In a separate but related experiment, we evaluated the assembly properties of the DRP1 mutant G362D with and without MID49126-454. As described above, this disease-associated residue sits at the base of the L1NS loop that forms part of the third interface with MID49 (Figs. 1c, 1e, Extended Data Fig. 13). We found that DRP1G362D purified as a nearly monodisperse and stable dimer, rather than a mix of tetramers and higher order species observed for the wild-type, full-length protein (Extended Data Fig. 12). In addition, DRP1G362D exclusively formed rings, not filaments, with or without MID49126-454 and in the presence of GMPPCP or GTP (Fig. 4a, Extended Data Figs. 14–15). These rings resembled those observed with wild-type DRP1 in all respects except that the wild-type protein only formed closed rings from the pre-formed linear MID49 copolymers through the path-dependent reaction described above (Fig. 3 versus Fig. 4). Using the non-hydrolyzable GTP analog GMPPCP with the DRP1G362D rings also improved structural homogeneity, presumably because the wild-type rings remain dynamic and eventually disassembled in the presence of GTP upon complete hydrolysis to GDP (Fig. 3).

Bar for (a) = 30nm, for (b, c) =100Å.

We imaged the DRP1G362D rings using cryoEM and used 2D class averages of the predominant 12-dimer closed ring to model the architectural differences between the linear filaments and the closed rings (Fig. 4, Extended Data Fig. 14–15). To account for the projected ring density, the G-domain and the BSE of DRP1 must move even further down toward the stalks. Moreover, while stalk interface-2 remains constant—as revealed by the X-shaped projected dimer (Fig. 4c)—the curvature of the ring dictates that stalk interfaces 1 and 3 must be extensively remodeled to allow a ~30 degree bending per dimer in comparison with the linear DRP1-MID49 copolymer (Fig. 4d, Extended Data Fig. 15, Movie 4). We did not observe any density for MID49 in the wild-type rings that form by curling of the MID49-DRP1 cofilament in the presence of GTP, nor in our higher-resolution analysis of the DRP1G362D rings that form with or without MID49 present (Fig. 4b-c, Extended Data Fig. 14–15).

We note that even the most constricted form of the closed ring is insufficient to drive complete mitochondrial fission because the inner diameter is only ~16nm. This length suggests that a constricted membrane tubule would be stable and that the structures we have observed in vitro could correspond with the highly-constricted but pre-fission state observed in living cells when another dynamin-family protein, the primarily endocytic dynamin-2, is depleted47. Thus, initial constriction by DRP1 may stabilize the high degree of membrane curvature that is suitable, perhaps even tuned, for the recruitment and final fission event catalyzed by additional dynamin-family enzymes.

Together, these findings establish four conceptual advances. First, our cryoEM structure revealed how receptor proteins like MID49/MID51 recruit and stabilize a specific nucleotide-bound conformation of DRP1 and nucleate polymerization of a cofilament. We speculate that the nearly linear properties of this polymer have adapted to encircle low-curvature mitochondrial tubules. The selective stabilization of this open, elongated conformation of DRP1 within the MID receptor cofilament explains why overexpression of the MID receptors inhibits mitochondrial fission39. Second, analysis of the MID49-DRP1 copolymer exposed how nucleotide binding induces an impressive conformational rearrangement to expose a network of multi-valent receptor binding sites. We now understand these nucleotide-driven allosteric transformations in detail and in the context of full-length and oligomeric DRP1. Third, a path-dependent constriction reaction revealed intrinsic GTP-dependent DRP1 properties that are reminiscent of microtubule dynamic instability64. In this reaction, nucleotide exchange and hydrolysis led to MID49/51 receptor dissociation, disassembly from the ends of the linear filament, and concomitant curling of the shortened filaments into closed rings. Fourth and finally, analysis of a disease mutant in the L1NS loop, DRP1G362D, exposed this loop as a vital determinant of mitochondrial receptor binding and the dynamic inter-stalk interactions that govern oligomer architecture and the ability of dynamin proteins to perform mechanical work.
