OPA1-dependent mitochondrial remodeling coordinates TCR signaling and metabolic adaptation during iNKT cell differentiation
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells require mitochondrial metabolism for terminal effector development. We found iNKT cells express elevated levels of proteins regulating mitochondrial membrane dynamics, and identified Opa1, but not Drp1, as selectively required for iNKT cell differentiation. OPA1 deficiency disrupted mitochondrial cristae organization, reduced mitochondrial membrane…
