Controlled changes in mitochondrial morphology participate in cellular signaling cascades. However, the molecular mechanisms modifying mitochondrial shape are largely unknown. Here we show that the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade member extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylates the pro-fusion protein mitofusin (MFN) 1, modulating its participation in apoptosis and mitochondrial fusion. Phosphoproteomic and biochemical analyses revealed that MFN1 is phosphorylated at an atypical ERK site in its heptad repeat (HR) 1 domain. This site proved essential to mediate MFN1-dependent mitochondrial elongation and apoptosis regulation by the MEK/ERK cascade. A mutant mimicking constitutive MFN1 phosphorylation was less efficient in oligomerizing and mitochondria tethering but bound more avidly to the proapoptotic BCL-2 family member BAK, facilitating its activation and cell death. Moreover, neuronal apoptosis following oxygen glucose deprivation and MEK/ERK activation required an intact MFN1T562. Our data identify MFN1 as an ERK target to modulate mitochondrial shape and apoptosis. Mfn1 is phosphorylated by ERK to inhibit mitochondrial fusion Mfn1 phosphorylation stimulates mitochondrial permeabilization and apoptosis The MAPK cascade regulates mitochondrial shape and apoptosis via Mfn1 Pyakurel et al. show that the pleiotropic ERK kinase phosphorylates the mitochondrial fusion protein Mitofusin 1. Phosphorylation by ERK inhibits mitochondrial fusion and stimulates apoptotic mitochondrial permeabilization, identifying how mitochondrial shape and apoptosis
