[As to the mechanisms involved, we have found that Mfn2 loss-of-function represses nuclear-encoded subunits of OXPHOS complexes I, II, III and V, whereas Mfn2 overexpression induced the subunits of complexes I, IV and V. Obesity-induced Mfn2 deficiency in rat skeletal muscle was also associated with a decrease in the subunits of complexes I, II, III and V. In addition, the effect of Mfn2 overexpression on mitochondrial metabolism was mimicked by a truncated Mfn2 mutant that is inactive as a mitochondrial fusion protein.].
