Expression of Low Level of VPS35-mCherry Fusion Protein Diminishes Vps35 Depletion Induced Neuron Terminal Differentiation Deficits and Neurodegenerative Pathology, and Prevents Neonatal Death

Abstract excerpt

Vps35 (vacuolar protein sorting 35) is a key component of retromer that consists of Vps35, Vps26, and Vps29 trimers, and sortin nexin dimers. Dysfunctional Vps35/retromer is believed to be a risk factor for development of various neurodegenerative diseases. Vps35Neurod6 mice, which selectively knock out Vps35 in Neurod6-Cre+ pyramidal neurons, exhibit age-dependent impairments in terminal differentiation of...
