Figure 8. Schematic showing the alteration in biological processes identified in Cisd2 KO and Cisd1&2 DKO mice. (A) In wild type (WT) mice, the protein process, including translation, transportation, modification and degradation, is well-controlled by functional organelles. (B) Cisd2 deletion leads to organelle degeneration and autolysosome formation. (C) Ablation of both Cisd1 and Cisd2 has a synergistic effect that results in organelle breakdown and cell death.
