Mitochondrial Inheritance - Parents - Boys Town National Research Hospital This article will give a short introduction to mitochondrial genetics, and outlinethe spectrum of clinical presentations of mitochondrially determined hearing http://www.boystownhospital.org/parents/info/genetics/mito.asp

Genetics and Deafness - Mitochondrial Inheritance and Hearing Loss by Nathan Fischel-Ghodsian, M.D. Nearly all of our genes can be found in the nucleus of the cell on one of the 23 chromosome pairs. However there are other genes on the tiny chromosomes in the mitochondria of the cell. Recently, mutations in these mitochondrial chromsomes have been found to be associated with a variety of hearing defects. This article will give a short introduction to mitochondrial genetics, and outline the spectrum of clinical presentations of mitochondrially determined hearing impairments. Normal Mitochondrial Genetics - Mitochondrial DNA is transmitted exclusively through mothers, with sperm apparently contributing no mitochondrial DNA to the zygote. This leads to the expectation that a defect in a mitochondrial gene should lead to disease equally in both sexes, but can only be transmitted through the maternal line. These basic rules of mitochondrial genetics are complicated by at least four factors:

Yeast as a model for mitochondria-related human disorders in Honor of Piotr P. Slonimski and his seminal work in mitochondrial genetics to be held shortly before the opening of the XXth International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology (ICYGMB). August 25-26, 2001 Prague, Czech Republic Organizing Committee J. Houstek (Prague), J. Kolarov (Bratislava), R. Naviaux (San Diego) and K. K. Singh (Baltimore) Program Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as an important cause of human pathology. Further improvement in understanding the underlying etiopathogenetic mechanisms largely depends on perspective genetic models and molecular approaches. The symposium is intended to bring together scientists working in the field of human and mammalian mitochondrial disorders with those exploring yeast molecular biology and genetics for revealing mitochondrial functions and biogenesis mechanisms. The format will be a two-day meeting with four scientific sessions focused on the following topics: Defective mitochondrial electron and solute transport and efficacy of energy conversion.

The Fire Within: The Unfolding Story of Human Mitochondrial DNA Introduction: Nearly every cell of the human body contains scores of mitochondria, tiny organelles that play a key role in releasing cellular energy. Every student of biology learns (some more willingly than others) that mitochondria are home to a complex series of biochemical pathways, including the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain (see pp. 123-131 in Biology by Miller and Levine). Mitochondria have always been interesting, ever since they were first recognized as important subcellular organelles by Altmann in 1890. He called them "bioblasts," and suggested that they might be tiny independent organisms within eukaryotic cells. He was wrong about that, but not quite as wrong as biologists once believed. When sugars are broken down to release energy, most first enter a pathway in the cytoplasm known as glycolysis which produces a modest amount of adenosine triphosphate ATP. The end product of that pathway, pyruvate, enters the mitochondrion and then proceeds into the Krebs cycle. The reactions of the cycle systematically strip high-energy electrons away from the intermediates of the cycle, and these electrons enter the electron transport pathway, which is bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. The oxygen we breathe serves as the final electron acceptor of the chain. As Peter Mitchell showed, this electron flow produces a proton gradient across the membrane which, like the pressure of water against a dam, can be used to generate energy. The proton "pressure" across the inner mitochondrial membrane produces not electricity but chemical energy in the form of ATP.

" MITOCHONDRIAL MYOPATHY: AN ENERGY CRISIS IN THE CELLS by Sharon Hesterlee THE MITOCHONDRIAL GENETICS MAZE The inheritance patterns of the mitochondrial encephalomyopathies can be quite complicated. The mutations that cause these diseases can be in the chromosomes; this is what's usually meant when people talk about a genetic or inherited disease. But mitochondrial encephalomyopathies have a unique situation. People can also inherit one of these diseases through mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which comes from the mother only. Mitochondria are the only parts of the cells that have their own DNA, separate from that of the chromosomes in the cell's nucleus, called nuclear DNA. This situation occurs because the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is the final step in the energy-making process, is made up of proteins that come from both nuclear and mtDNA (see illustration). Although only 13 of roughly 100 respiratory chain proteins come from the mtDNA, these 13 proteins contribute to every part of the respiratory chain except complex II, and 24 other mitochondrial genes are required just to manufacture those 13 proteins. Thus, a defect in either a nuclear gene or one of the 37 mitochondrial genes can cause the respiratory chain to break down. (This respiratory chain has nothing to do with breathing.) When mitochondrial disease is caused by defects in the nuclear DNA, the inheritance follows a "Mendelian" pattern, just as other inherited disorders do (named for Gregor Mendel, the 19th-century scientist who first explained inheritance). These inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked. Leigh syndrome (caused by defects in complexes I and IV) is one of the most common forms of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy inherited in this fashion. It's usually autosomal recessive, meaning that two copies of the defective gene, one from each parent, are required to produce the disease.

Over 500 loci are included. Linkage maps have been revised and augmented. If sites of gene action are known, they are indicated in figures that show biosynthetic or catabolic pathways. Information on wild-type enzymes is included only where necessary to explain the mutant phenotypes. The text is concerned primarily with the organization and function of each locus and only secondarily with allelic variation or properties that distinguish specific alleles. Chromosome rearrangements are not considered except when mapping or analysis of loci depends upon rearrangement break points. (See reference 808 for a review of rearrangements.) Mutations in the mitochondrial genome are not considered except as necessary for describing nuclear genes that interact with mitochondrial mutations.

Welcome to the Introductory page for Jack Kennell and lab co-workers at Saint Louis University. We are interested in all things mitochondrial, especially mitochondrial genetics of filamentous fungi. Within this website you can find information describing fungal mitochondrial genomes, mutants, extrachromosomal plasmids, as well as nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial function. Particular emphasis is placed on the ascomycete, Neurospora crassa. The site is divided into three major areas: Mitochondrial Genomes and Mutants Mitochondrial Plasmids Nuclear-Mitochondrial Interactions Fungal Respiratory Pathways The production of ATP coupled to electron transport is an invariant feature of mitochondria. In animal mitochondria, the respiratory chain begins with electrons being transferred from NADH to complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) or from the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate succinate to complex II (succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Electrons are transferred via ubiquinones, complex III (ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase), cytochrome c, complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) and finally to molecular oxygen to give water. Although this respiratory pathway is present in most fungal mitochondria, a few fungi, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe , lack complex I. More commonly, however, fungi have additional components, such as alternative NADH dehydrogenases and/or an alternative terminal oxidase (reviewed by Joseph-Horne et al. 2001).
