Membrane trafficking and mitochondrial abnormalities precede subunit c deposition in a cerebellar cell model of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: JNCL is a recessively inherited, childhood-onset neurodegenerative disease most-commonly caused by a approximately 1 kb CLN3 mutation. The resulting loss of battenin activity leads to deposition of mitochondrial ATP synthase, subunit c and a specific loss of CNS neurons. We previously generated Cln3Deltaex7/8 knock-in mice, which replicate the common JNCL mutation, express mutant battenin and display...
