Abstract Background: The p49/STRAP (or SRFBP1) protein was recently identified in our laboratory as a cofactor of serum response factor that contributes to the regulation of SRF target genes in the heart. Results: In the present study, we report that NDUFAB1, a nuclear encoded subunit of NADH dehydrogenase, represented the majority of the cDNA clones that interacted with p49/STRAP in multiple screenings using the yeast two-hybrid system. The p49/STRAP and NDUFAB1 proteins interacted and co-localized with each other in the cell. The p49/STRAP protein contains four classic nuclear localization sequence motifs, and it was observed to be present predominantly in the nucleus. Overexpression of p49/STRAP altered the intracellular level of NAD, and reduced the NAD/NADH ratio. Overexpression of p49/STRAP also induced the deacetylation of serum response factor. Conclusion: These data suggest that p49/STRAP plays a role in the regulation of intracellular processes such as cardiac cellular metabolism, gene expression, and possibly aging.

Several recurrent copy number variations have been described recently in chromosome 16p. 16p11.2 rearrangements (29.5–30.1 Mb) are associated with autism, intellectual disability (ID) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Another recognizable but less common microdeletion syndrome in 16p11.2p12.2 (21.4 to 28.5–30.1 Mb) has been described in six individuals with ID, whereas apparently reciprocal duplications, studied by standard cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques, have been reported in three patients with autism spectrum disorders. Here, we report a multiplex family with three boys affected with autism, including two monozygotic twins carrying a de novo 16p11.2p12.2 duplication of 8.95 Mb (21.28–30.23 Mb) characterized by single-nucleotide polymorphism array, encompassing both the 16p11.2 and 16p11.2p12.2 regions. The twins exhibited autism, severe ID, and dysmorphic features, including a triangular face, deep-set eyes, large and prominent nasal bridge, and tall, slender build. The eldest brother presented with autism, mild ID, early-onset obesity and normal craniofacial features, and carried a smaller, overlapping 16p11.2 microdeletion of 847 kb (28.40–29.25 Mb), inherited from his apparently healthy father.

    https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Ndufab1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ndufab1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ndufab1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_028177 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000030869 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 7. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 4 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000033157). Exon 2~4 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 36.11% of the coding region. Exon 2~4 covers 64.1% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~5146 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Abstract The impairment of mitochondrial bioenergetics, often coupled with exaggerated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, is emerging as a common mechanism in diseases of organs with a high demand for energy, such as the heart. Building a more robust cellular powerhouse holds promise for protecting these organs in stressful conditions. Here, we demonstrate that NDUFAB1 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit AB1), acts as a powerful cardio-protector by enhancing mitochondrial energy biogenesis. In particular, NDUFAB1 coordinates the assembly of respiratory complexes I, II, and III and supercomplexes, conferring greater capacity and efficiency of mitochondrial energy metabolism.

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.

Complex I exists in supercomplex forms with RC complexes III and IV, which are together required for the generation of a transmembrane proton gradient used for the synthesis of ATP2. Complex I is also a major source of damaging reactive oxygen species and its dysfunction is associated with mitochondrial disease, Parkinson’s disease and aging3-5. Bacterial and human complex I share 14 core subunits essential for enzymatic function, however the role and requirement of the remaining 31 human accessory subunits is unclear1,6.
