It is unknown what occurs if both mitochondrial division and fusion are completely blocked. Here, we introduced mitochondrial stasis by deleting two dynamin-related GTPases for division (Drp1) and fusion (Opa1) in livers. Mitochondrial stasis rescues liver damage and hypotrophy caused by the single knockout (KO). At the cellular level, mitochondrial stasis re-establishes mitochondrial size and rescues mitophagy defects caused by division deficiency. Using Drp1KO livers, we found that the autophagy adaptor protein p62/sequestosome-1-which is thought to function downstream of ubiquitination-promotes mitochondrial ubiquitination. p62 recruits two subunits of a cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, Keap1 and Rbx1, to mitochondria. Resembling Drp1KO, diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty livers enlarge mitochondria and accumulate mitophagy intermediates. Resembling Drp1Opa1KO, Opa1KO rescues liver damage in this disease model. Our data provide a new concept that mitochondrial stasis leads the spatial dimension of mitochondria to a stationary equilibrium and a new mechanism for mitochondrial ubiquitination in mitophagy.
