mortality/aging
• resistant to lethality induced by 5 ug PA + 5 ug FP59
• all survive up to 8 doses
|
• most mice die shortly after birth
• at weaning only 1.2% of mice are homozygous rather than the expected 25%
• most mice that survive birth appear healthy, are fertile and survive to adulthood
|
embryo
• absence of ADP-ribosylation in tissues
|
cellular
N |
• protein synthesis rates in MEFS are similar to those in control MEFs
|
• partially resistant to the decrease in protein synthesis rates induced by anthrax protective antigen + fusion protein 59 (PA + FP59)
• increase in the protein synthesis error rate due to -1 frameshifts in MEFs
|
• MEFs are highly resistant to PA + FP59 induced cell death during 48 h toxin incubations
• only modest cell death (about 30%) is seen after 200 h incubations
|
growth/size/body
• at E17.5
|
• developmental delay is detected after E14.5
