physiological function | overexpression or silencing of the MsrA gene increases or decreases, respectively, photoreceptor outer segment fragments binding as well as engulfment in retinal pigment epithelium. These effects are independent of the levels of oxidative stress. Altering MsrA expression has no effect on phagocytosis when mitochondrial respiration is inhibited. ATP content directly correlates with MsrA protein levels in retinal pigment epithelium cells when using mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for ATP synthesis. Overexpressing MsrA is sufficient to increase specifically the activity of complex-IV of the respiratory chain | Rattus norvegicus |
