Effect of quercetin treatment on the expression of PGC-1α, Mitofusin 2, VDAC, and protein oxidation. (a) Detection of carbonyl groups was performed with the OxyBlot Protein Oxidation Detection Kit. (c) Densitometry quantification of carbonyl groups was made with the ImageJ software. Carbonylation of proteins was normalized by Ponceau staining and Complex V (CV) expression. (b) Expression of mitochondrial proteins. Protein expression of MFN2, PGC-1α, and VDAC1 was analyzed in heart isolated mitochondria from control and quercetin-treated mice. β-actin was used as a loading control. (d) Densitometry analysis. MFN2, PGC-1α, and VDAC1 expressions were normalized by β-actin expression. Each bar represents the mean ± SD, analyzed by two-sample t-test (P < 0.05). Control mice, n = 11; quercetin-treated mice, n = 9. Each bar represents the mean ± SD, analyzed by two-sample t-test (P < 0.05). Significant differences (*) were found between control and quercetin-treated mice. P < 0.05.

Biological function summary
Mitofusin 2 ensures the proper distribution of mitochondria within cells and regulates mitochondrial metabolism. It is a critical component of the mitochondrial fusion machinery and works closely with its homolog Mitofusin 1 (MFN1). Together they form a complex that facilitates the physical merging of mitochondrial membranes. This process is essential for mitochondrial dynamics which include not only fusion but also fission and biogenesis.
Pathways
The protein part of the fusion machinery integrates into multiple essential biological pathways including energy metabolism and apoptosis regulation. It participates in the mitochondrial fusion pathway and the PGC-1α pathway for mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitofusin 2 interacts with proteins such as PINK1 and Parkin that are known to play roles in mitophagy a process that targets damaged mitochondria for degradation indicating its involvement in maintaining mitochondrial quality control.
