Mitochondrial amino acid export preserves mitochondrial volume at the egg-to-embryo transition
In animals, the transition from egg to embryo marks a rapid shift in cellular physiology, yet how mitochondria adapt to support this conversion remains poorly understood. We performed a targeted RNAi screen of conserved, nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins in Drosophila melanogaster to identify maternal effects. We identified distinct phenotypic classes affecting mitochondrial distribution or…
