Mitochondrial threshold effects.
The study of mitochondrial diseases has revealed dramatic variability in the phenotypic presentation of mitochondrial genetic defects. To attempt to understand this variability, different authors have studied energy metabolism in transmitochondrial cell lines carrying different proportions of various pathogenic mutations in their mitochondrial DNA. The same kinds of experiments have been perfor...

متن کاملA mutation threshold distinguishes the antitumorigenic effects of the mitochondrial gene MTND1, an oncojanus function.
The oncogenic versus suppressor roles of mitochondrial genes have long been debated. Peculiar features of mitochondrial genetics such as hetero/homoplasmy and mutation threshold are seldom taken into account in this debate. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations generally have been claimed to be protumorigenic, but they are also hallmarks of mostly benign oncocytic tumors wherein they help reduce ...
متن کاملThe kinetic basis of threshold effects observed in mitochondrial diseases: a systemic approach.
Threshold effects in the expression of metabolic diseases have often been observed in mitochondrial pathologies, i.e. the clinical demonstration of the disease appears only when the activity of a step has been reduced to a rather low level. We show experimentally that an inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity by cyanide, simulating a defect in this step, leads to a decrease in mitochondria...
متن کاملEffects of threshold resummation
We investigate effects of threshold resummation of logarithmic corrections lnN in Mellin space quantitatively. Threshold resummation leads to enhancement of next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for jet production at large jet transverse energy, which is in the trend indicated by experimental data. We show that this enhancement is completely determined by the behavior of threshold resummation a...
