Mitofusin 2 Is Necessary for Transport of Axonal Mitochondria and Interacts with the Miro/Milton Complex
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that Mfn2 is directly involved in and required for axonal mitochondrial transport, distinct from its role in mitochondrial fusion, and important insight is offered into the cell type specificity and molecular mechanisms of axonal degeneration in CMT2A and dominant optic atrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitofusin2 mutations disrupt axonal mitochondrial positioning and promote axon degeneration.
TL;DR: It is shown that disease associated MFN2 proteins suppressed both mitochondrial fusion and transport, and produced classic features of segmental axonal degeneration without cell body death, including neurofilament filled swellings, loss of calcium homeostasis, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix metalloproteinase mediated degradation of basement membrane proteins in Trembler J neuropathy nerves.
TL;DR: Observations suggest that infiltration by MMP‐expressing macrophages contributes to the remodeling of the TrJ nerve matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminases in sulfite biosynthesis and H2S metabolism

TL;DR: A new detection method of sulfite in cellular extracts is applied to dissect the contribution of cytosolic and mitochondrial glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) in the transformation of cysteine sulfinic acid to sulfite and pyruvate and it is found that the cytOSolic isoform GOT1 is primarily responsible for the production of sulfites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delineating the phenotypic spectrum of sulfite oxidase and molybdenum cofactor deficiency.
TL;DR: Patients with SUOX and MoCD gravitate toward 1 of 2 distinct clinicoradiographic profiles, which may help promote accurate diagnosis, prognostication, and aid in the design of future clinical trials.
