behavior/neurological
• mice show a >50% reduction in voluntary wheel running activity relative to wild-type controls, as determined by the sum of wheel rotations per night
• when forced to run on a treadmill at a constant velocity of 12 m/min, mice fatigue after ~20 min whereas wild-type controls are able to run constantly for at least 1 hr
|
muscle
• mice exhibit loss of p97 K315 trimethylation in soleus slow type I fibers, leading to reduced p97 hexamer formation and decreased ATPase activity in soleus muscle lysates at 2, 4 and 8 months of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show a >50% reduction in voluntary wheel running activity relative to wild-type controls, as determined by the sum of wheel rotations per night
• when forced to run on a treadmill at a constant velocity of 12 m/min, mice fatigue after ~20 min whereas wild-type controls are able to run constantly for at least 1 hr
|
• mice exhibit age-dependent accumulation of autophagic vacuoles in skeletal (soleus) muscle; in some cases, vesicular structures are found in direct proximity to mitochondria or protein aggregates
• following dissection of the sciatic nerve to induce muscle atrophy, mice show impaired induction of proteins involved in the autophagy-lysosome pathway
