Making the most of what you've got: Optimizing residual OXPHOS function in mitochondrial diseases
نویسنده
چکیده
Patients affected by mitochondrial OXPHOS disorders are still faced with a grim lack of therapeutic options. In this Closeup, Carlos Moraes revisits the recent data by Giovanni Manfredi on PKA's functions in the mitochondria and now its modulation can improve respiration and ATP production in COX-defective cells.

O-9: The Central Role of Mitochondrial Function in Quality of Human Oocyte
Background: Mitochondria are the most aboudent and small essential organelles found in eukaryotic cells. These are semiautonomous organelles for the production of cellular ATP that through its various biochemical pathways. The primary pathway for ATP production is OXPHOS via the electron transfer chain (ETC) which is encoded by nuclear DNA and mtdna genomes. Mitochondria consist of double stran...
متن کاملA metabolic shift induced by a PPAR panagonist markedly reduces the effects of pathogenic mitochondrial tRNA mutations
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA-encoded tRNA genes are associated with many human diseases. Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) by synthetic agonists stimulates oxidative metabolism, induces an increase in mitochondrial mass and partially compensates for oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) defects caused by single OXPHOS enzyme deficiencies in vitro and in viv...

متن کاملOXPHOS mutations and neurodegeneration.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) sustains organelle function and plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism. The OXPHOS system consists of 5 multisubunit complexes (CI-CV) that are built up of 92 different structural proteins encoded by the nuclear (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Biogenesis of a functional OXPHOS system further requires the assistance of nDNA-encod...
