Mitofusin-mediated contacts between mitochondria and peroxisomes regulate mitochondrial fusion
The yeast mitofusin Fzo1 naturally localizes to peroxisomes to promote their tethering with mitochondria, but the physiological relevance of this contact is unclear. Here, the authors show that these Fzo1-mediated PerMit contacts are required to maintain mitochondrial fusion as fatty acid desaturation increases.

Proteins that carry dual targeting signals can act as tethers between peroxisomes and partner organelles
Proteins require targeting signals to reach their destination. This study reveals that dual affinity proteins which possess targeting signals for different organelles can act as dynamic tether proteins that bridge organelles together to create contact sites.
Ever wondered what these #peroxisomes are about I'm dealing with in my #PhD
