Dynamin-related proteins (DRPs) are GTPases that reversibly assemble on cellular membranes. Individual DRPs (for simplicity, we use “DRP” to include authentic dynamins) function in fission or tubulation of the plasma membrane, trans-Golgi network, mitochondria, peroxisomes, chloroplasts, and endosomes, and in mitochondrial fusion. Many of these functions are widespread, present in animals, plants, trypanosomes, Giardia, ciliates, alga, and slime molds. Lineage-specific expansions of the gene family created specialized DRPs including MxB in animals, reported to regulate nuclear pore transport. While many unicellular organisms possess a small number of DRPs, expansions occurred in some protist lineages. The 8 DRPs in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila may contribute to aspects of ciliate complexity. Each ciliate cell contains distinct germ line and somatic nuclei, which must require distinct machinery for their differentiation and maintenance. Here we show that Drp6p, previously shown to be targeted to the nuclear envelope, is required for macronuclear (mac) development. Drp6p activity, which is distinct from that of the only other known nuclear DRP, is modulated by a combination of stage-specific subcellular targeting and assembly dynamics. This work demonstrates a novel activity for a DRP, and presents a system in which key aspects of regulation can be easily manipulated by environmental and developmental cues.
