additional information | generation of mKO mice, mice harboring LoxP sites flanking exons 3-19 of the GCN5 gene, referred to as GCN5flox/flox, usage of Cre-LoxP methodology to generate mice with muscle-specific knockout of GCN5 (mKO) and floxed, wildtype littermates. Despite successful knockdown of GCN5 activity in skeletal muscle of mKO mice, whole-body energy expenditure as well as skeletal muscle mitochondrial abundance and maximal respiratory capacity are comparable between mKO and wild-type mice. No differences in skeletal muscle expression of several genes between wild-type and GCN5 mKO mice, overview. Skeletal muscle gene expression of metabolic, angiogenic, and mitochondrial genes is not affected by loss of GCN5. Loss of GCN5 does not alter body composition, in vivo metabolism or energy expenditure | Mus musculus |

malfunction | loss of GCN5 in vivo does not promote metabolic remodeling in mouse skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle gene expression of metabolic, angiogenic, and mitochondrial genes is not affected by loss of GCN5. Loss of GCN5 does not affect myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition, and markers of skeletal muscle development are unaffected by loss of GCN5. Skeletal muscle maximal respiratory capacity and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme activity are not affected by loss of GCN5. Loss of GCN5 does not affect mitochondrial content or adaptations to endurance exercise training | Mus musculus |
physiological function | lysine acetyltransferase GCN5 is a regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis via its inhibitory action on peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha). Specific contribution of GCN5 to skeletal muscle metabolism and mitochondrial adaptations to endurance exercise in vivo | Mus musculus |
