Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Mitofusin 1 (MFN1) and MFN2 are outer mitochondrial membrane fusogenic proteins regulating mitochondrial network morphology. MFN2 mutations cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A), an axonal neuropathy characterized by mitochondrial fusion defects, which in the case of a GTPase domain mutant, were rescued following wild-type MFN1/2 (MFN1/2WT ) overexpression. In this study, we compared the...
