Blueprint Genetics Optic Atrophy Panel Optic Atrophy Panel Test code: OP0301 Is a 68 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. In addition, it also includes the maternally inherited mitochondrial genome. This is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion or diagnosis of isolated or syndromic optic atrophy. About Optic Atrophy Optic atrophy is a condition that affects the optic nerve, which carries impulses from the eye to the brain. Optic atrophy type 1 (OA1) is clinically characterized by progressive decrease in visual acuity from early childhood onwards. Clinical presentation can be highly variable. The visual impairment is usually moderate, but ranges from severe (legal blindness with acuity <1/20) to mild, accompanied by visual field and color vision defects. OA1 is characterized by the preferential loss of retinal ganglion cells and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Approximately 80% of the familial and 50% of the sporadic cases with OA1 are explained by variants in OPA1, which encodes a mitochondrial inner membrane protein. Optic atrophy can also be syndromic. For example, deafness-dystonia-optic neuronopathy (DDON) syndrome (Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome) is inherited in an X-linked manner and caused by variants in TIMM8A. Biallelic variants in WFS1 are associated with optic atrophy as part of the autosomal recessive Wolfram syndrome. Autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth hereditary neuropathy type 2A is caused by variants in MFN2. Variants in C12ORF65 are implicated in autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegias.

Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 18 May 2020 Abstract: Mitochondria serve as a hub for many cellular processes, including bioenergetics, metabolism, cellular signaling, redox balance, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. The mitochondrial proteome includes over a thousand proteins, encoded by both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. The majority (~99%) of proteins are nuclear encoded that are synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently imported into the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, polypeptides fold and assemble into their native functional form. Mitochondria health and integrity depend on correct protein import, folding, and regulated turnover termed as mitochondrial protein quality control (MPQC). Failure to maintain these processes can cause mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to various pathophysiological outcomes and the commencement of diseases. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the role of different MPQC regulatory systems such as mitochondrial chaperones, proteases, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mitochondrial unfolded protein response, mitophagy, and mitochondria-derived vesicles in the maintenance of mitochondrial proteome and health. The proper understanding of mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms will provide relevant insights to treat multiple human diseases. Keywords: mitochondria; proteome; ubiquitin; proteasome; chaperones; protease; mitophagy; mitochondrial protein quality control; mitochondria-associated degradation; mitochondrial unfolded protein response 1.

MASTL, a Ser/Thr kinase that inhibits PP2A-B55 complexes during mitosis, is mutated in autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia. However, the connections between the cell-cycle machinery and this human disease remain unexplored. We report here that, whereas Mastl ablation in megakaryocytes prevented proper maturation of these cells, mice carrying the thrombocytopenia-associated mutation developed thrombocytopenia as a consequence of aberrant activation and survival of platelets. Activation of mutant platelets was characterized by hyperstabilized pseudopods mimicking the effect of PP2A inhibition and actin polymerization defects.

  • Oxygen Tension Modulates the Mitochondrial Genetic Bottleneck and Influences the Segregation of a Heteroplasmic Mtdna Variant in Vitro
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02069-2 OPEN Oxygen tension modulates the mitochondrial genetic bottleneck and influences the segregation of a heteroplasmic mtDNA variant in vitro Mikael G.

Chinnery 1,2 Most humans carry a mixed population of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA heteroplasmy) affecting ~1–2% of molecules, but rapid percentage shifts occur over one generation leading to severe mitochondrial diseases. A decrease in the amount of mtDNA within the developing 1234567890():,; female germ line appears to play a role, but other sub-cellular mechanisms have been implicated. Establishing an in vitro model of early mammalian germ cell development from embryonic stem cells, here we show that the reduction of mtDNA content is modulated by oxygen and reaches a nadir immediately before germ cell specification. The observed genetic bottleneck was accompanied by a decrease in mtDNA replicating foci and the segregation of heteroplasmy, which were both abolished at higher oxygen levels. Thus, differences in oxygen tension occurring during early development likely modulate the amount of mtDNA, facil- itating mtDNA segregation and contributing to tissue-specific mutation loads. 1 Department of Clinical Neurosciences, School of Clinical Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK. 2 Medical Research Council Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge CB2 0XY, UK. 3 Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 4 Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan.

Hindered by a limited understanding of the mechanisms responsible for diabetic gastroenteropathy (DGE), management is symptomatic. We investigated the duodenal mucosal expression of protein- coding genes and microRNAs (miRNA) in DGE and related them to clinical features. The diabetic phenotype, gastric emptying, mRNA, and miRNA expression and ultrastructure of duodenal mucosal biopsies were compared in 39 DGE patients and 21 controls. Among 3175 differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05), several mitochondrial DNA–encoded (mtDNA-encoded) genes (12 of 13 protein coding genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation [OXPHOS], both rRNAs and 9 of 22 transfer RNAs) were downregulated; conversely, nuclear DNA–encoded (nDNA-encoded) mitochondrial genes (OXPHOS) were upregulated in DGE.

Abstract LONP1, a AAA+ mitochondrial protease, is implicated in protein quality control, but its substrates and precise role in this process remain poorly understood. Here we have investigated the role of human LONP1 in mitochondrial gene expression and proteostasis. Depletion of LONP1 resulted in partial loss of mtDNA, complete suppression of mitochondrial translation, a marked increase in the levels of a distinct subset of mitochondrial matrix proteins (SSBP1, MTERFD3, FASTKD2 and CLPX), and the accumulation of their unprocessed forms, with intact mitochondrial targeting sequences, in an insoluble protein fraction.

ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential organelles present in the vast majority of eukaryotic cells. Their central function is to produce cellular energy through the OXPHOS system, and functional alterations provoke so-called mitochondrial OXPHOS diseases. It is estimated that several hundred mitochondrial proteins have unknown functions. Very recently, C6orf203 was described to participate in mitochondrial transcription under induced mitochondrial DNA depletion stress conditions.

Email: [email protected] (S.H.) Abstract Knowledge of genes that are critical to a tissue’s function remains difficult to ascertain and presents a major bottleneck toward a mechanistic understanding of genotype-phenotype links. Here, we present the first machine learning model – FUGUE – combining transcriptional and network features, to predict tissue-relevant genes across 30 human tissues. FUGUE achieves an average cross-validation auROC of 0.86 and auPRC of 0.50 (expected 0.09). In three independent datasets, FUGUE accurately distinguishes tissue or cell type-specific genes, significantly outperforming the conventional metric based on tissue-specific expression alone. Comparison of tissue-relevant transcription factors across tissue recapitulate their developmental relationships. Interestingly, the tissue-relevant genes cluster on the genome within topologically associated domains and furthermore, are highly enriched for differentially expressed genes in the corresponding cancer type.

  • Protein Degradation in Mitochondria: Implications for Oxidative Stress, Aging and Disease: a Novel Etiological Classi®Cation of Mitochondrial Proteolytic Disorders
    Mitochondrion 1 (2001) 33±49 www.elsevier.com/locate/mito Review article Protein degradation in mitochondria: implications for oxidative stress, aging and disease: a novel etiological classi®cation of mitochondrial proteolytic disorders Daniela A. Bota, Kelvin J.A. Davies* Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center and the Division of Molecular Biology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA-90089-0191, USA Received 16 February 2001; accepted 16 March 2001 Abstract The mitochondrial genome encodes just a small number of subunits of the respiratory chain. All the other mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nucleus and produced in the cytosol. Various enzymes participate in the activation and intrami- tochondrial transport of imported proteins. To ®nally take their place in the various mitochondrial compartments, the targeting signals of imported proteins have to be cleaved by mitochondrial processing peptidases. Mitochondria must also be able to eliminate peptides that are internally synthesized in excess, as well as those that are improperly assembled, and those with abnormal conformation caused by mutation or oxidative damage. Damaged mitochondrial proteins can be removed in two ways: either through lysosomal autophagy, that can account for at most 25±30% of the biochemically estimated rates of average mitochondrial catabolism; or through an intramitochondrial proteinolytic pathway. Mitochondrial proteases have been exten- sively studied in yeast, but evidence in recent years has demonstrated the existence of similar systems in mammalian cells, and has pointed to the possible importance of mitochondrial proteolytic enzymes in human diseases and ageing. A number of mitochondrial diseases have been identi®ed whose mechanisms involve proteolytic dysfunction. Similar mechanisms probably play a role in diminished resistance to oxidative stress, and in the aging process.

  • Network-Based Analysis of Key Regulatory Genes Implicated in Type
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Network‑based analysis of key regulatory genes implicated in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Recurrent Miscarriages in Turner Syndrome Anam Farooqui1, Alaa Alhazmi2, Shaful Haque3, Naaila Tamkeen4, Mahboubeh Mehmankhah1, Safa Tazyeen1, Sher Ali5 & Romana Ishrat1* The information on the genotype–phenotype relationship in Turner Syndrome (TS) is inadequate because very few specifc candidate genes are linked to its clinical features. We used the microarray data of TS to identify the key regulatory genes implicated with TS through a network approach. The causative factors of two common co‑morbidities, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Recurrent Miscarriages (RM), in the Turner population, are expected to be diferent from that of the general population. Through microarray analysis, we identifed nine signature genes of T2DM and three signature genes of RM in TS. The power‑law distribution analysis showed that the TS network carries scale‑free hierarchical fractal attributes. Through local‑community‑paradigm (LCP) estimation we fnd that a strong LCP is also maintained which means that networks are dynamic and heterogeneous. We identifed nine key regulators which serve as the backbone of the TS network. Furthermore, we recognized eight interologs functional in seven diferent organisms from lower to higher levels. Overall, these results ofer few key regulators and essential genes that we envisage have potential as therapeutic targets for the TS in the future and the animal models studied here may prove useful in the validation of such targets. Te medical systems and scientists throughout the world are under an unprecedented challenge to meet the medical needs of much of the world’s population that are sufering from chromosomal anomalies.
