Drosophila Cisd is functionally more similar to CISD1. A Immunoblots of protein lysates from RPE1 cells ± YFP-Parkin overexpression (OE) treated with antimycin A (4 µM) and oligomycin (10 µM) for the indicated time to induce mitophagy, probed for mitophagy marker pUb, and degradation of TOM20 and CISD1/2 (CISD1, Proteintech, 16006-1-AP; and CISD2, Proteintech, 13318-1-AP), alongside respective loading control total Ub and Tubulin. Blot is representative of 3 replicate experiments. B Confocal micrographs of U2OS cells transfected with human CISD1-FLAG or CISD2-FLAG, counter-stained with antibodies against TOM20 (mitochondria) or Calnexin (ER). C Confocal micrographs of Drosophila larval neurons expressing transgenic mito-GFP and WT control, human CISD1-HA or CISD2-HA driven by nSyb-GAL4. D Immunoblots of protein lysates of 2- and 20-day-old whole flies expressing the indicated transgenes via da-GAL4 versus WT control, probed for pUb and CISD1/2 with (CISD2, Proteintech, 13318-1-AP). Scale bars = 10 μm
