| Abstract | Mammalian mitochondrial fission requires at least two proteins, hFis1 and the dynamin-like GTPase DLP1/Drp1. The mitochondrial protein hFis1 is anchored at the outer membrane by a C-terminal transmembrane domain. The cytosolic domain of hFis1 contains six α helices [α1–α6] out of which [α2–α5] form tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-like motifs. DLP1 and possibly other proteins are thought to interact with the hFis1 TPR region during the fission process. It has also been suggested that the α1-helix regulates protein-protein interactions at the TPR. We performed random peptide phage display screening using the hFis1[α2–α6] as the target and identified ten different peptide sequences. Phage ELISA using mutant hFis1 indicates that the peptide binding requires the α2 and α3 helices and the intact TPR structure. Competition experiments and surface plasmon resonance analyses confirmed that a subset of free peptides enriched with proline residues directly bind to the target. Two of these peptides bind to the α1-containing intact cytosolic domain of hFis1 with decreased affinity. Peptide microinjection into cells abolished the mitochondrial swelling induced by overexpression of α1-deleted hFis1, and significantly decreased cytochrome c release from mitochondria upon apoptotic induction. Our data demonstrate that hFis1 can bind to multiple amino acid sequences selectively, and that the TPR constitutes the main binding region of hFis1, providing a first insight into the hFis1 TPR as a potential therapeutic target. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
