Abstract

Nutrient-deprivation autophagy factor-1 (NAF-1) was identified as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) BCL-2-interacting protein, which functions to mediate the ability of ER BCL-2 to antagonize Beclin 1-dependent autophagy and depress ER calcium stores. In humans, a point mutation in Naf-1 (synonyms: Cisd2, Eris, Miner1 and Noxp70) is responsible for the neurodegenerative disorder Wolfram Syndrome 2. Here, we describe the generation and characterization of the Naf-1 gene deletion in mice. Naf-1 null mice display discernable clinical signs of degeneration at 2-3 months of age, with early evidence of significant defects in the structure and performance of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles from Naf-1 knockout mice demonstrate a significant shift towards slow-twitch (type I) fibers and greater resistance to muscle fatigue. Force-generating capacity is dramatically reduced in Naf-1(-/-) muscle. Consistent with its role in ER BCL-2-mediated regulation of autophagy and calcium flux, these physiological deficiencies were accompanied by augmented autophagy and dysregulated calcium homeostasis. In contrast, this also included adaptive enlargement of mitochondria with extensive cristae structures. Thus, NAF-1, a BCL-2-associated autophagy regul...Continue Reading

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Autophagy & Disease

Autophagy is an important cellular process for normal physiology and both elevated and decreased levels of autophagy are associated with disease. Here is the latest research.
