Protein function: Dynamin-related GTPase that is essential for normal mitochondrial morphology by mediating fusion of the mitochondrial inner membranes, regulating cristae morphology and maintaining respiratory chain function. Exists in two forms: the transmembrane, long form (Dynamin-like GTPase OPA1, long form, L-OPA1), which is tethered to the inner mitochondrial membrane, and the short soluble form (Dynamin-like GTPase OPA1, short form, S-OPA1), which results from proteolytic cleavage and localizes in the intermembrane space. Both forms (L-OPA1 and S-OPA1) cooperate to catalyze the fusion of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The equilibrium between L-OPA1 and S-OPA1 is essential: excess levels of S-OPA1, produced by cleavage by OMA1 following loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, lead to an impaired equilibrium between L-OPA1 and S-OPA1, inhibiting mitochondrial fusion. The balance between L-OPA1 and S-OPA1 also influences cristae shape and morphology. Its role in mitochondrial morphology is required for mitochondrial genome maintenance. [The UniProt Consortium]
