    Abstract
    Recent studies have revealed that mttochondrial fragmentation is a critical event in apoptosts. Mitochondria become fragmented and notably, the fragmentation causes the permeabiliLation of the mitochondrial outet membrane and consequently contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic cell death. In apoptosts, mitochondrial fragmentation in\'olvcs the activations of Drp I. a ke} fission protein. and Bif-1, a protein onginally identified to interact .... ith Ra\.. flo, .. ever, the molecular mechanisms b) '' hich Drp I and Bif-1 regulate mit0chondrial d}nam ic during apoptosts remain unclear.
