Abstract:20functional relevance of these modifications are largely unclear. Nonetheless, mitochondria 21 possess multiple resident phosphatases, suggesting that protein dephosphorylation may be 22 broadly important for mitochondrial activities. To explore this, we deleted the poorly characterized 23 matrix phosphatase Pptc7 from mice using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Strikingly, Pptc7 -/mice 24 exhibited marked hypoketotic hypoglycemia, elevated acylcarnitines, and lactic acidosis, and died 25 soon after birth. Pptc7 -/tis… Show more
