gene cinnabar, quantitative enzyme expression analysis, gene cinnabar genetically interacts with the Parkinson's disease associated genes Pink1 and parkin, as well as the mitochondrial fission gene Drp1, implicating KMO in mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy, mechanisms which govern the maintenance of a healthy mitochondrial network. Overexpression of human KMO in HEK-293T cells. Cinnabar genetically interacts with Pink1 and parkin in a mechanism independent of KP metabolism, overview | Drosophila melanogaster |

additional information | cinnabar null cn3 line analysis, the aspect ratio and Feret's diameter are increased in cn3 flies compared to Canton S control flies, reflecting mitochondrial elongation arising from KMO deficiency. Mitochondrial respiratory capacity and locomotor activity are decreased in cn flies, independent from 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine (3-HK) synthesis. Gene cinnabar silencing with about 80% knockdown resulting in an elongation of the mitochondrial network compared with cells treated with the control dsRNAi construct, phenotype overview. Drp1 upregulation reverses climbing phenotype of cn-deficient flies | Drosophila melanogaster |

malfunction | KMO-deficient Drosophila melanogaster shows mitochondrial phenotypes in vitro and in vivo, overview. Loss of function allele or RNAi knockdown of the Drosophila KMO orthologue gene cinnabar causes a range of morphological and functional alterations to mitochondria, which are independent of changes to levels of KP metabolites. Elongated mitochondria are observed in cinnabar deficient fly models. Mitochondrial DRP1 Ser637 phosphorylation is reduced by KMO overexpression, resulting in an increase in mitochondrial fission | Drosophila melanogaster |
metabolism | enzyme kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) operates at a critical branch-point in the kynurenine pathway (KP), the major route of tryptophan metabolism. KMO modulates DRP1 post-translational regulation | Drosophila melanogaster |
physiological function | role for kynurenine 3-monooxygenase in mitochondrial dynamics. KMO plays a role in the post-translational regulation of DRP1, mitochondrial role for KMO, independent from its enzymatic role in the kynurenine pathway (KP) | Drosophila melanogaster |
