Birk1,4,* A consanguineous Israeli Bedouin kindred presented with an autosomal-recessive nonlethal phenotype of severe psychomotor retarda- tion and extrapyramidal signs, dystonia, athetosis and ataxia, mild axial hypotonia, and marked global dementia with defects in verbal and expressive communication skills. Metabolic workup was normal except for mildly elevated blood lactate levels. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased density in the putamen, with decreased density and size of the caudate and lentiform nuclei. Reduced activity specifically of mitochondrial complex III and variable decrease in complex I activity were evident in muscle biopsies. Homozygosity of affected individuals to UQCRB and to BCSIL, previously associated with isolated complex III deficiency, was ruled out. Genome-wide linkage analysis identified a homozygosity locus of approximately 9 cM on chromosome 5q31 that was further narrowed down to 2.14 cM, harboring 30 genes (logarithm of the odds [LOD] score 8.82 at q ¼ 0). All 30 genes were sequenced, revealing a single missense (p.Ser45Phe) mutation in UQCRQ (encoding ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, complex III subunit VII, 9.5 kDa), one of the ten nuclear

Mir-4435 Is an UQCRB-Related Circulating Mirna in Human
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN MiR-4435 is an UQCRB-related circulating miRNA in human colorectal cancer Ji Won Hong1,4, Jung Min Kim1,4, Jeong Eun Kim1, Hee Cho1, Dasol Kim1, Wankyu Kim 2, Jong-Won Oh1 & Ho Jeong Kwon 1,3* Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase (UQCRB), a subunit of the mitochondrial complex III, is highly expressed in tissues from colorectal cancer patients. Since UQCRB is highly expressed in colorectal cancer, we investigated miRNAs from mutant UQCRB-expressing cell lines to identify new miRNA biomarkers. After sequencing miRNAs in the mutant UQCRB-expressing cell lines, miR-4435 was selected as a potential biomarker candidate from the six up-regulated miRNAs. The expression level of miR-4435 in the mutant UQCRB-expressing cell lines and colon cancer was increased. Notably, the expression level of miR-4435 was increased in exosomes isolated from cell culture medium, suggesting that miR-4435 is closely related to colon cancer and that large amounts of miR-4435 may be secreted outside of the cells through exosomes. Additionally, exosomes extracted from the serum samples of colorectal cancer patients showed increased miR-4435 levels depending on the cancer progression stage. Moreover, analyses of a miRNA database and mRNA-sequencing data of the mutant UQCRB-expressing cell lines revealed that TIMP3, a tumor suppressor, could be a target of miR-4435. Additionally, the expression of miR-4435 was suppressed by UQCRB inhibitor treatment whereas TIMP3 was up-regulated. Upregulation of TIMP3 decreased proliferation of the mutant UQCRB-expressing cell lines and a colorectal cancer cell line. TIMP3 was also upregulated in response to miR-4435 inhibitor and UQCRB inhibitor treatments.

Low Abundance of the Matrix Arm of Complex I in Mitochondria Predicts Longevity in Mice
ARTICLE Received 24 Jan 2014 | Accepted 9 Apr 2014 | Published 12 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4837 OPEN Low abundance of the matrix arm of complex I in mitochondria predicts longevity in mice Satomi Miwa1, Howsun Jow2, Karen Baty3, Amy Johnson1, Rafal Czapiewski1, Gabriele Saretzki1, Achim Treumann3 & Thomas von Zglinicki1 Mitochondrial function is an important determinant of the ageing process; however, the mitochondrial properties that enable longevity are not well understood. Here we show that optimal assembly of mitochondrial complex I predicts longevity in mice. Using an unbiased high-coverage high-conﬁdence approach, we demonstrate that electron transport chain proteins, especially the matrix arm subunits of complex I, are decreased in young long-living mice, which is associated with improved complex I assembly, higher complex I-linked state 3 oxygen consumption rates and decreased superoxide production, whereas the opposite is seen in old mice. Disruption of complex I assembly reduces oxidative metabolism with concomitant increase in mitochondrial superoxide production. This is rescued by knockdown of the mitochondrial chaperone, prohibitin. Disrupted complex I assembly causes premature senescence in primary cells. We propose that lower abundance of free catalytic complex I components supports complex I assembly, efﬁcacy of substrate utilization and minimal ROS production, enabling enhanced longevity. 1 Institute for Ageing and Health, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5PL, UK. 2 Centre for Integrated Systems Biology of Ageing and Nutrition, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5PL, UK. 3 Newcastle University Protein and Proteome Analysis, Devonshire Building, Devonshire Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK.

Barros 2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Microbiology,Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo 05508-900, Brazil; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 19 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: The ease with which the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be manipulated genetically and biochemically has established this organism as a good model for the study of human mitochondrial diseases. The combined use of biochemical and molecular genetic tools has been instrumental in elucidating the functions of numerous yeast nuclear gene products with human homologs that affect a large number of metabolic and biological processes, including those housed in mitochondria. These include structural and catalytic subunits of enzymes and protein factors that impinge on the biogenesis of the respiratory chain. This article will review what is currently known about the genetics and clinical phenotypes of mitochondrial diseases of the respiratory chain and ATP synthase, with special emphasis on the contribution of information gained from pet mutants with mutations in nuclear genes that impair mitochondrial respiration. Our intent is to provide the yeast mitochondrial specialist with basic knowledge of human mitochondrial pathologies and the human specialist with information on how genes that directly and indirectly affect respiration were identified and characterized in yeast.

Thesis Reference
Thesis C11orf83, a mitochondrial cardiolipin-binding protein involved in bc1 complex assembly and supercomplex stabilization DESMURS-ROUSSEAU, Marjorie Abstract Cette thèse a permis d'identifier C11orf83, désormais appelé UQCC3, comme étant une protéine mitochondriale ancrée dans la membrane interne. Nous avons constaté l'implication de C11orf83 dans l'assemblage du complexe III de la chaîne respiratoire via la stabilisation du complexe intermédiaire MT-CYB/UQCRB/UQCRQ. Nous avons également prouvé que C11orf83 était associée avec le dimère de complexe III et était détectée dans le supercomplexe III2/IV. Son absence induit une baisse significative de ce supercomplexe et du respirasome (I/III2/IV). La capacité de C11orf83 de lier les cardiolipines, connues pour être impliquées dans la formation et la stabilisation de ces supercomplexes, pourrait expliquer ces résultats. Ainsi, ce travail de thèse en lien avec une récente étude clinique mettant en évidence une déficience du complexe III chez un patient atteint d'une mutation du gène C11orf83 (Wanschers et al., 2014) permet d'améliorer les connaissances sur l'assemblage du complexe III et la compréhension d'une maladie mitochondriale.

Mitochondrial Structure and Bioenergetics in Normal and Disease Conditions
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Mitochondrial Structure and Bioenergetics in Normal and Disease Conditions Margherita Protasoni 1 and Massimo Zeviani 1,2,* 1 Mitochondrial Biology Unit, The MRC and University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 0XY, UK; [email protected] 2 Department of Neurosciences, University of Padova, 35128 Padova, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Mitochondria are ubiquitous intracellular organelles found in almost all eukaryotes and involved in various aspects of cellular life, with a primary role in energy production. The interest in this organelle has grown stronger with the discovery of their link to various pathologies, including cancer, aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, dysfunctional mitochondria cannot provide the required energy to tissues with a high-energy demand, such as heart, brain and muscles, leading to a large spectrum of clinical phenotypes. Mitochondrial defects are at the origin of a group of clinically heterogeneous pathologies, called mitochondrial diseases, with an incidence of 1 in 5000 live births. Primary mitochondrial diseases are associated with genetic mutations both in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), affecting genes involved in every aspect of the organelle function. As a consequence, it is difficult to find a common cause for mitochondrial diseases and, subsequently, to offer a precise clinical definition of the pathology. Moreover, the complexity of this condition makes it challenging to identify possible therapies or drug targets.

Nuclear Gene Mutations As the Cause of Mitochondrial Complex III Deficiency
REVIEW published: 09 April 2015 doi: 10.3389/fgene.2015.00134 Nuclear gene mutations as the cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency Erika Fernández-Vizarra*† and Massimo Zeviani Mitochondrial Biology Unit, Medical Research Council, Cambridge, UK Complex III (CIII) deficiency is one of the least common oxidative phosphorylation defects associated to mitochondrial disease. CIII constitutes the center of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, as well as a crossroad for several other metabolic pathways. For more than 10 years, of all the potential candidate genes encoding structural subunits and assembly factors, only three were known to be associated to CIII defects in human pathology. Thus, leaving many of these cases unresolved. These first identified Edited by: genes were MT-CYB, the only CIII subunit encoded in the mitochondrial DNA; BCS1L, Tiziana Lodi, encoding an assembly factor, and UQCRB, a nuclear-encoded structural subunit. University of Parma, Italy Reviewed by: Nowadays, thanks to the fast progress that has taken place in the last 3–4 years, Saima Siddiqi, pathological changes in seven more genes are known to be associated to these Institute of Biomedical and Genetic conditions. This review will focus on the strategies that have permitted the latest Engineering, Pakistan Vineta Fellman, discovery of mutations in factors that are necessary for a correct CIII assembly and Lund University, Sweden activity, in relation with their function.
