Osteopetrosis Mutation R444L causes Endoplasmic Reticulum Retention and Misprocessing of Vacuolar H+-ATPase a3 Subunit

Osteopetrosis is characterized by increased bone density and fragility. The R444L missense mutation in the human V-ATPase a3 subunit causes this disease. Modeling the R444L mutation in mouse a3 caused endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of a3 with attendant abrogation of maturation and trafficking...
