Ultrastructural Changes in Skeletal Muscle of Infants with Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Complex I Defects
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathogenesis of mitochondrial disease (MD) involves the disruption of cellular energy metabolism, which results from defects in the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex (MRC). We investigated whether infants with MRC I defects showed ultrastructural changes in skeletal muscle. METHODS Twelve infants were enrolled in this study. They were initially evaluated for u...
متن کاملThe Assembly Pathway of Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Complex I.
Mitochondrial complex I is the largest integral membrane enzyme of the respiratory chain and consists of 44 different subunits encoded in the mitochondrial and nuclear genome. Its biosynthesis is a highly complicated and multifaceted process involving at least 14 additional assembly factors. How these subunits assemble into a functional complex I and where the assembly factors come into play is...
متن کاملMitochondrial myopathies: defects in mitochondrial metabolism in human skeletal muscle.
An uncommon but increasingly diagnosed clinical situation in humans is mitochondrial myopathy, a condition in which muscle function is impaired by defective mitochondrial metabolism in the generation of energy for muscle contraction. It is also now clear that abnormalities of mitochondrial function are not limited to muscle, but may also underlie multisystem disease, in which other tissues are ...
متن کاملNonylphenol ethoxylate plastic additives inhibit mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I.
The first and major entry point of electrons into the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) 1 occurs through NADH-coenzyme Q reduc-tase (complex I). Decreased complex I activity is associated with a wide range of conditions, including inherited mitochondrial diseases and neu-rodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson disease (1–2). More than 60 natural and commercial compounds are reported to ...
متن کاملMutations in NDUFB11, encoding a complex I component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, cause microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome.
Microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome is an X-linked male-lethal disorder also known as MIDAS (microphthalmia, dermal aplasia, and sclerocornea). Additional clinical features include neurological and cardiac abnormalities. MLS syndrome is genetically heterogeneous given that heterozygous mutations in HCCS or COX7B have been identified in MLS-affected females. Both genes encode ...
