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

Molecular Characterization of Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Next Generation Sequencing: Identification of Novel Biomarkers and Targets of Personalized Therapies
Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Dipartimento di Medicina Specialistica, Diagnostica e Sperimentale Dottorato di Ricerca in Oncologia, Ematologia e Patologia XXX Ciclo Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: MED/15 Settore Concorsuale:06/D3 Molecular characterization of acute myeloid leukemia by Next Generation Sequencing: identification of novel biomarkers and targets of personalized therapies Presentata da: Antonella Padella Coordinatore Prof. Pier-Luigi Lollini Supervisore: Prof. Giovanni Martinelli Esame finale anno 2018 Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic neoplasm that affects myeloid progenitor cells and it is one of the malignancies best studied by next generation sequencing (NGS), showing a highly heterogeneous genetic background. The aim of the study was to characterize the molecular landscape of 2 subgroups of AML patients carrying either chromosomal number alterations (i.e. aneuploidy) or rare fusion genes. We performed whole exome sequencing and we integrated the mutational data with transcriptomic and copy number analysis. We identified the cell cycle, the protein degradation, response to reactive oxygen species, energy metabolism and biosynthetic process as the pathways mostly targeted by alterations in aneuploid AML. Moreover, we identified a 3-gene expression signature including RAD50, PLK1 and CDC20 that characterize this subgroup. Taking advantage of RNA sequencing we aimed at the discovery of novel and rare gene fusions. We detected 9 rare chimeric transcripts, of which partner genes were transcription factors (ZEB2, BCL11B and MAFK) or tumor suppressors (SAV1 and PUF60) rarely translocated across cancer types. Moreover, we detected cryptic events hiding the loss of NF1 and WT1, two recurrently altered genes in AML. Finally, we explored the oncogenic potential of the ZEB2-BCL11B fusion, which revealed no transforming ability in vitro.

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.

Electron Transport Chain Activity Is a Predictor and Target for Venetoclax Sensitivity in Multiple Myeloma

Nooka 1, Lawrence H. Boise 1, Deepak Nagrath2,3,5 & ✉ Mala Shanmugam 1 1234567890():,; The BCL-2 antagonist venetoclax is highly effective in multiple myeloma (MM) patients exhibiting the 11;14 translocation, the mechanistic basis of which is unknown. In evaluating cellular energetics and metabolism of t(11;14) and non-t(11;14) MM, we determine that venetoclax-sensitive myeloma has reduced mitochondrial respiration. Consistent with this, low electron transport chain (ETC) Complex I and Complex II activities correlate with venetoclax sensitivity. Inhibition of Complex I, using IACS-010759, an orally bioavailable Complex I inhibitor in clinical trials, as well as succinate ubiquinone reductase (SQR) activity of Complex II, using thenoyltriﬂuoroacetone (TTFA) or introduction of SDHC R72C mutant, independently sensitize resistant MM to venetoclax. We demonstrate that ETC inhibition increases BCL-2 dependence and the ‘primed’ state via the ATF4-BIM/NOXA axis. Further, SQR activity correlates with venetoclax sensitivity in patient samples irrespective of t(11;14) status. Use of SQR activity in a functional-biomarker informed manner may better select for MM patients responsive to venetoclax therapy. 1 Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.

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.

Yang 2,6,7* 1234567890():,; There is increasing evidence for a strong inherited genetic basis of susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in children. To identify new risk variants for B-cell ALL (B-ALL) we conducted a meta-analysis with four GWAS (genome-wide association studies), totalling 5321 cases and 16,666 controls of European descent. We herein describe novel risk loci for B-ALL at 9q21.31 (rs76925697, P = 2.11 × 10−8), for high-hyperdiploid ALL at 5q31.1 (rs886285, P = 1.56 × 10−8) and 6p21.31 (rs210143 in BAK1, P = 2.21 × 10−8), and ETV6- RUNX1 ALL at 17q21.32 (rs10853104 in IGF2BP1, P = 1.82 × 10−8). Particularly notable are the pleiotropic effects of the BAK1 variant on multiple haematological malignancies and specific effects of IGF2BP1 on ETV6-RUNX1 ALL evidenced by both germline and somatic genomic analyses. Integration of GWAS signals with transcriptomic/epigenomic profiling and 3D chromatin interaction data for these leukaemia risk loci suggests deregulation of B-cell development and the cell cycle as central mechanisms governing genetic susceptibility to ALL.

Cytochrome c1, the heme-containing component of complex III, mediates the transfer of electrons from the Rieske iron-sulfur protein to cytochrome c c . Cytochrome 1 is present at reduced levels in the skeletal muscle and skin fibroblasts of affected individuals. Moreover, studies on yeast mutants and affected individuals’ fibroblasts have shown that exogenous expression of wild-type CYC1 rescues complex III activity, demonstrating the deleterious effect of each mutation on cytochrome c1 stability and complex III activity.
