mortality/aging
• mice die within 15 to 30 minutes of birth
|
nervous system
• smaller and less developed than wild-type neurons at 14 to 15 days in vitro
|
• in neurons, mitochondria accumulates in proximal regions of dendrites with only sparse distribution in distal dendrites compare to in wild-type neurons
• however, mitochondria distribution along the axon is normal
|
• decreased neurite length and branchpoint numbers in E18 neurons
|
• decreased length
• increased dendritic complexity in proximal regions and a decrease distally
• however, number of branch points is normal
|
• reduced anterograde and retrograde mitochondria trafficking in dendrites and in axons of neurons 6 to 7 days and 14 to 15 days in vitro
• reduced velocity of anterograde transport in dendrites
• expression of Rhot2 only partially rescues phenotype
• however, the velocity of remaining motile mitochondria in axons is normal as is sensitivity to glutamate and expression of the endogenous gene restores normal mitochondria trafficking
• however, transportation of endosomes is normal
|
homeostasis/metabolism
cellular
• in neurons, mitochondria accumulates in proximal regions of dendrites with only sparse distribution in distal dendrites compare to in wild-type neurons
