Mice Lacking the Mitochondrial Exonuclease MGME1 Accumulate Mtdna Deletions Without Developing Progeria

Stewart 1, Maria Falkenberg2, Nils-Göran Larsson 1,6 & Dusanka Milenkovic 1 1234567890():,; Replication of mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an essential process that requires high fidelity and control at multiple levels to ensure proper mitochondrial function. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome maintenance exonuclease 1 (MGME1) gene were recently reported in mitochondrial disease patients. Here, to study disease pathophysiology, we generated Mgme1 knockout mice and report that homozygous knockouts develop depletion and multiple deletions of mtDNA. The mtDNA replication stalling phenotypes vary drama- tically in different tissues of Mgme1 knockout mice. Mice with MGME1 deficiency accumulate a long linear subgenomic mtDNA species, similar to the one found in mtDNA mutator mice, but do not develop progeria. This finding resolves a long-standing debate by showing that point mutations of mtDNA are the main cause of progeria in mtDNA mutator mice. We also propose a role for MGME1 in the regulation of replication and transcription termination at the end of the control region of mtDNA. 1 Department of Mitochondrial Biology, Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, Cologne 50931, Germany. 2 Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg 405 30, Sweden. 3 Department of Biosciences, Biotechnologies and Biopharmaceutics, University of Bari Aldo Moro, Bari 70125, Italy.

Roles of the Mitochondrial Replisome in Mitochondrial DNA Deletion Formation
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 43, 1(suppl 1), e20190069 (2020) Copyright © 2020, Sociedade Brasileira de Genética. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1678-4685-GMB-2019-0069 Review Article Roles of the mitochondrial replisome in mitochondrial DNA deletion formation Marcos T. Oliveira1 , Carolina de Bovi Pontes2 and Grzegorz L. Ciesielski2 1Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias, Departamento de Tecnologia, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil. 2Department of Chemistry, Auburn University at Montgomery, Montgomery, AL, U.S.A. Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions are a common cause of human mitochondrial diseases. Mutations in the genes encoding components of the mitochondrial replisome, such as DNA polymerase gamma (Pol g) and the mtDNA helicase Twinkle, have been associated with the accumulation of such deletions and the development of pathological conditions in humans. Recently, we demonstrated that changes in the level of wild-type Twinkle pro- mote mtDNA deletions, which implies that not only mutations in, but also dysregulation of the stoichiometry between the replisome components is potentially pathogenic. The mechanism(s) by which alterations to the replisome func- tion generate mtDNA deletions is(are) currently under debate. It is commonly accepted that stalling of the replication fork at sites likely to form secondary structures precedes the deletion formation. The secondary structural elements can be bypassed by the replication-slippage mechanism. Otherwise, stalling of the replication fork can generate sin- gle- and double-strand breaks, which can be repaired through recombination leading to the elimination of segments between the recombination sites. Here, we discuss aberrances of the replisome in the context of the two debated outcomes, and suggest new mechanistic explanations based on replication restart and template switching that could account for all the deletion types reported for patients.

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. Pezet1,2,6, Aurora Gomez-Duran1,2,7, Florian Klimm2,3,7, Juvid Aryaman1,2,3, Stephen Burr1,2, ✉ Wei Wei1,2, Mitinori Saitou4,5, Julien Prudent 2 & Patrick F. 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.

M.K.S.: phone: +33 1 42115404; Email: [email protected] A variety of endogenous and exogenous factors induce chemical and structural alterations to cellular DNA, as well as errors occurring throughout DNA synthesis. These DNA damages are cytotoxic, miscoding, or both, and are believed to be at the origin of cancer and other age related diseases. A human cell, in addition to nuclear DNA, contains thousands copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a double-stranded, circular molecule of 16,569 bp. It was proposed that mtDNA is a critical target for reactive oxygen species (ROS), by-products of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), generated in the organelle during aerobic respiration. Indeed, oxidative damage to mtDNA are more extensive and persistent as compared to that of nuclear DNA. Although, transversions are the hallmarks of mutations induced by ROS, paradoxically, the majority of mtDNA mutations that occurred during ageing and cancer are transitions.

The Role of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in 2,3,7,8- Tetrachlorodibenzo-Ρ-Dioxin-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Mouse Hepatoma Cells
THE ROLE OF THE ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR IN 2,3,7,8- TETRACHLORODIBENZO-ρ-DIOXIN-INDUCED MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN MOUSE HEPATOMA CELLS By Hye Jin Hwang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF THE ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR IN 2,3,7,8- TETRACHLORODIBENZO-ρ-DIOXIN-INDUCED MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN MOUSE HEPATOMA CELLS By Hye Jin Hwang The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain family protein and ligand-activated transcription factor. The AHR directly regulates the expression of a large number of genes, including many that encode Phase I and Phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. Environmental contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon or halogenated aryl hydrocarbon act as AHR ligands. The most potent AHR ligand, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-ρ- dioxin (TCDD), causes various deleterious physiological effects, such as tumor promotion, chloracne, wasting syndrome, and hepatic steatosis. Over the last several decades, the AHR has been the focus of extensive research. Even with this depth of inquiry, there is a lack of understanding to the mechanism of action for AHR-mediated toxicity. Several possibilities have been proposed. For example, since the AHR is a transcription factor, it has been proposed that one, or more, of the genes that is regulated by the AHR leads to toxicity. The cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) and TCDD-inducible poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (TiPARP) are primary targets of AHR-regulated expression and are capable of promoting oxidative stress.
