Non-cell autonomous regulation of cell-cell signaling and differentiation by mitochondrial ROS.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) function intrinsically within cells to induce cell damage, regulate transcription, and cause genome instability. However, we know little about how mitochondrial ROS production non-cell autonomously impacts cell-cell signaling. Here, we show that mitochondrial dysfunction inhibits the plasma membrane localization of cell surface receptors that drive cell-cell communication during oogenesis. Within minutes, we found that mitochondrial ROS impairs exocyst membrane binding and leads to defective endosomal recycling. This endosomal defect impairs the trafficking of receptors, such as the Notch ligand Delta, during oogenesis. Remarkably, we found that overexpressing RAB11 restores ligand trafficking and rescues the developmental defects caused by ROS p
