CCP1 promotes mitochondrial fusion and motility to prevent Purkinje cell neuron loss in pcd mice
18 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
A perplexing question in neurodegeneration is why different neurons degenerate. The Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) mouse displays a dramatic phenotype of degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Loss of CCP1/Nna1 deglutamylation of tubulin accounts for pcd neurodegeneration, but the mechanism is unknown. In this study, we modulated the dosage of fission and fusion genes in a Drosophila melanogaster...
