Stable nuclear expression of ATP8 and ATP6 genes rescues a mtDNA Complex V null mutant
We explore the possibility of re-engineering mitochondrial genes and expressing them from the nucleus as an approach to rescue defects arising from mitochondrial DNA mutations. We have used a patient cybrid cell line with a single point mutation in the overlap region of the ATP8 and ATP6 genes of the human mitochondrial genome. These cells are null for the ATP8 protein, have significantly lower...
متن کاملP. mcallii–platyrhinos mtDNA complex
Two species of horned lizards are sympatric along the periphery of the Salton Trough. Phrynosoma mcallii , endemic to the trough, is of conservation concern because its limited habitat has been fragmented by human activities. A more common and widespread species, Phrynosoma platyrhinos , occurs around the periphery of the trough and much further to the North. The two species are syntopic at a f...
متن کاملA complex genomic locus drives mtDNA replicase POLG expression to its disease‐related nervous system regions
DNA polymerase gamma (POLG), the mtDNA replicase, is a common cause of mitochondrial neurodegeneration. Why POLG defects especially cause central nervous system (CNS) diseases is unknown. We discovered a complex genomic regulatory locus for POLG, containing three functional CNS-specific enhancers that drive expression specifically in oculomotor complex and sensory interneurons of the spinal cor...
متن کاملExpression of Yeast NDI1 Rescues a Drosophila Complex I Assembly Defect
Defects in mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) function have been implicated in a number of neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and aging. Mitochondrial complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) is the largest and most complicated enzyme of the ETC with 45 subunits originating from two separate genomes. The biogenesis of complex I is an intricate process that requires multiple steps, subassembli...
متن کاملContrasting effects of in vitro fertilization and nuclear transfer on the expression of mtDNA replication factors.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is normally only inherited through the oocyte. However, nuclear transfer (NT), the fusion of a donor cell with an enucleated oocyte, can transmit both donor cell and recipient oocyte mtDNA. mtDNA replication is under the control of nuclear-encoded replication factors, such as polymerase gamma (POLG) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). These are first expre...
