Following oxidative stress, cyclin C is relocalized from the nucleus to the outer membrane of the mitochondria where it interacts with the fission machinery and is required for stress-induced mitochondrial fission. The fluorescent images represent this relocalization in S. cerevisiae cells harboring YFP-cyclin C (green) and mitochondria-DsRed constructs before (upper left) and after (lower right) addition of 1mM H2O2. 100X magnification, deconvolved images of 0.2 µM slices at 0.2 µM spacing.
