cellular
• mice induced with interferon gamma exhibited similar responses to starvation as controls, although it was noted that 40S ribosomes were absent and 60S ribosomes were increased in number in mutant liver recovering from starvation
• expression of cell cycle markers such as cyclin E and cyclin A were not seen in mutant hepatocytes suggesting a block in cell cycle progression

liver/biliary system
• after partial hepatectomy, mutant liver failed to regenerate after 10 days; histopathology revealed no evidence of regenerative or pathological processes in mutant liver; expression of cell cycle markers such as cyclin E and cyclin A were not seen in mutants suggesting a block in cell cycle progression

pigmentation
• mice exhibit markedly darkened ears relative to control mice
• mice exhibit markedly darkened hair relative to control mice
• mice show increased epidermal pigmentation in the footpads, tail and ears
• skin is much darker than that observed in single Rps19Mhdadsk3 or Rps20Mhdadsk4 heterozygotes
• mice exhibit markedly darkened footpads relative to control mice
• Kitl (kit ligand) mRNA levels are increased 8.2- and 3.8-fold at P3 and P30, respectively, in the footpad epidermis relative to control mice
• i.p. injection of ACK2 (a Kit-neutralizing antibody) at P2 prevents the appearance of dark footpads at P8 whereas PBS injection has no effect on pigmentation, indicating that Kit signaling is required for dark skin
• at P30, a 73-fold increase in Trp53 staining is noted in the basal layer of the footpad epidermis relative to control mice
• mice exhibit markedly darkened tails relative to control mice
• pigment accumulates in the tail epidermis, whereas the dermis is unaffected
