a, Representative mitochondrial morphology in Smurf1+/+ (wild-type) and Smurf1−/− (KO) MEFs transfected with indicated construct and treated with DMSO or 10 µM CCCP for 24 h. b, Quantification of percentage of total cells with a diffuse accumulation of abnormal fragmented mitochondria and lack of mitochondrial clearance. Results shown represent combined data from 3-5 experiments per condition with triplicate wells (of at least 100 cells per well) analysed for each condition per experiment. Shown are mean ± s.e.m. for average values from each experiment. Similar results were observed in each independent experiment. *P  0.001, Students t-test. c, Measurement of mitochondrial fractional area (percentage of total cellular area) in MEFs treated as in a. Results shown represent mean ± s.e.m. for 50 cells per condition.
