Expression of a T39N mutant Rab32 protein arrests mitochondria movement within neurites of differentiated SH-SY5Y cells.

Abstract excerpt

We have shown that multiple sclerosis (MS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induce Rab32, an ER/mitochondria-localized small GTPase. High levels of both dominant-active (Q85L) or dominant-inactive (T39N) Rab32 are toxic to neurons. While Rab32Q85L interacts with its effector Drp1 to promote mitochondria fission, it is unclear how Rab32T39N could result as toxic to neurons. Given the perinuclear clustering of...
