Mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease
Growing evidence supports a role for mitochondrial iron metabolism in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders such as Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and Parkinson disease (PD) as well as in the motor and cognitive decline associated with the aging process. Iron-sulfur enzyme deficits and regional iron accumulation have been observed in each of these conditions. In spite of significant etio...
متن کاملMitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster genes in Eucalyptus
Iron-sulfur [Fe-S] clusters are prosthetic groups required to maintain life processes including respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic reactions, sensing, signaling,and gene regulation. In plants the biogenesis of Fe-S proteins is compartmentalized and adapted to specific needs of the eukaryotic and photosynthetic cell. Although critical to so many fundamental metabolic pathways and drastically...
متن کاملIron-sulfur cluster biogenesis and human disease.
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are essential for numerous biological processes, including mitochondrial respiratory chain activity and various other enzymatic and regulatory functions. Human Fe-S cluster assembly proteins are frequently encoded by single genes, and inherited defects in some of these genes cause disease. Recently, the spectrum of diseases attributable to abnormal Fe-S cluster bioge...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dysfunction Leads to Nuclear Genome Instability via an Iron-Sulfur Cluster Defect
Mutations and deletions in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), as well as instability of the nuclear genome, are involved in multiple human diseases. Here, we report that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, loss of mtDNA leads to nuclear genome instability, through a process of cell-cycle arrest and selection we define as a cellular crisis. This crisis is not mediated by the absence of respiration, but ...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders.
There is compelling evidence for the direct involvement of mitochondria in certain neurodegenerative disorders, such as Morbus Parkinson, FRDA (Friedreich's ataxia), ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and temporal lobe epilepsy with Ammon's horn sclerosis. This evidence includes the direct genetic evidence of pathogenic mutations in mitochondrial proteins in inherited Parkinsonism {such as PA...
