    Extractions: Volume 6, Number 4, August 1999 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.

    Extractions: Human Genetics; Molecular Pathogenesis of Disease-Related Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Although mitochondrial genetics of yeast and trypanosomes has been extensively explored in the last 20 years, the study of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gained momentum in 1988 with the discovery of diseases associated with mtDNA mutations. The human mtDNA is a compact circular genome (16.6 kb) coding for components of the ATP-producing oxidative phosphorylation system. Because mtDNA-coded polypeptides are synthesized in mitochondrial-specific ribosomes, the mtDNA also codes for a set of rRNAs and tRNAs necessary for intraorganelle translation. The contribution of the mitochondrial genome to cellular respiration, though vital, is not sufficient. Dozens of nuclear-coded proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm are imported into mitochondria and assembled with mitochondrially-synthesized proteins to form a functional oxidative phosphorylation system. Large-scale rearrangements and point mutations of mtDNA have been associated with devastating clinical syndromes. Organs with high energy requirements such as brain and muscle are preferentially affected. Symptoms include: seizures, strokes, muscle weakness, blindness, diabetes, and hearing loss. In addition to defining novel mtDNA abnormalities in patients with mitochondrial disorders, we are interested in understanding the molecular pathogenesis of these mutations. We use a full array of molecular and cell biology techniques to analyze mitochondrial gene expression both in patients' tissues and in transmitochondrial cell lines. We are particularly interested in the consequences of tRNA mutations on mitochondrial protein synthesis. Novel approaches to gene therapy for mitochondrial disorders are also being developed in our laboratory. Besides bona-fide mitochondrial diseases, we are analyzing the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in age-related neurodegenerative disorders.

    Extractions: research on mitochondrial diseases MITOCHONDRIA BACTERIUM-SIZED organelles residing in most of our cellsconvert fuel from food into the body's most biologically useful form of energy, adenosine triphosphate or ATP. Mitochondria are the only non-nuclear constituents of the cell with their own DNA (mtDNA) and machinery for synthesizing RNA and proteins. This remarkable capability reflects their descent from bacteria. The endosymbiont hypothesis, first proposed by Lynn Margulies and now widely accepted, states that early in evolution, an energy-poor cell engulfed a bacterium with far more efficient energy-producing machinery and ultimately co-opted its functions; over time, the bacteria evolved into mitochondria. (Chloroplasts, too, are endosymbionts, though they lack separate DNA.) Endosymbiosis was probably critical for the development of large multicellular organisms, including us. Only in the past seven years, with advances in cellular and molecular biology, have we appreciated the complexity of genetic mechanisms and clinical presentations in mitochondrial disorders. The history of mitochondrial disease goes back to the early 1960s, however, when Lars Ernster and Rolf Luft in Stockholm described a patient who ate voraciously yet stayed thin, sweating profusely even in winter. Ernster and Luft implicated a defect in mitochondrial energy metabolism and showed that this patient's muscle mitochondria could make only a fraction of the energy they should normally produce; the unconverted fuel was diverted into heat production. The exact cause of Luft disease (perhaps the rarest condition known: only one other patient has been found) remains unknown, but these investigators broke new ground by linking mitochondrial function defects to human disease.

    Extractions: In the preface of this new addition to the ever-expanding body of genetics literature, the authors state that they hope to serve medical students, housestaff and practicing physicians by reviewing the principles of modern medical genetics. While this book may be useful as a source of brief descriptions of various disorders with a genetic basis, the scope is too broad and the discussion not of sufficient depth for it to function alone as a primary genetics text. Similar criticisms can be made of the chapter on genetic diagnosis and gene therapy. The scope is too broad and, thus, short shrift is given to such fundamental concepts as indirect molecular testing for families at risk via linkage analysis. However, RNAse protection cleavage and denaturing gel electrophoresis are described, techniques that many clinical geneticists do not fully understand and which are not fundamental to clinical practice. Thus, the focus of this chapter could have been narrowed considerably with more thoughtful discussions of some of the key concepts. Prototype pedigrees, MIM numbers and chromosomal locations for inborn errors of metabolism, and five diagnostic cases to test diagnostic skills comprise the final section. Specific references cited within the text would have been more useful than giving MIM numbers. The diagnostic cases would be useful to medical students, housestaff, and fellows in clinical genetics not only in testing their diagnostic skills, but in preparing for exams. The lack of a glossary in the appendices is a serious omission.

    Extractions: The aim of research in the group is to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which type II restriction endonucleases and modification methyltransferases recognize substrate DNA. The ultimate goal is to understand the structural basis of sequence specificity and to engineer enzymes of novel specificity 1) DNA substrate recognition by the M.SinI and M.Sau96I DNA(cytosine-5) methyltransferases (C5-Mtases). These enzymes methylate the sequence GGA/TCC and GGNCC, respectively (the methylated cytosine underlined). M.SinI mutants displaying relaxed sequence specificity (recognizing also GGG/CCC sites) were isolated. Ongoing work involves characterization of these mutants and selection of M.Sau96I mutants with an increased level of specificity, i.e. with the capacity to methylate only one of the two original substrate sites (GGA/TCC or GGG/CCC). 2) Construction of variants of the M.SssI C5-Mtase (recognition sequence CG) which can be terminally coupled to oligonucleotides or peptide nucleic acid (PNA). The aim of the project is to explore the possibility of using M.SssI-oligonucleotide/PNA complexes to methylate specific sites determined by the sequence of the targeting oligonucleotide/PNA.. The collaborative project involving four European laboratories and three companies is funded by a grant under the 5th European Framework Programme.

The usefulness of conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) for analysing differences within the coding sequence of mtDNA was also estimated. We studied mtDNA genotypes of 29 patients with occipital stroke. The aetiology of the stroke was assessed using the criteria of the Baltimore-Washington Cooperative Young Stroke Study, and migraine was diagnosed in 18 patients according to the International Headache Society criteria. Moreover, we studied the mtDNA genotypes of 42 patients with migraine and a total of 480 population controls who reported that they themselves and their mothers were healthy with respect to common clinical manifestations of mtDNA disease. The mtDNA haplogroups were detected by restriction fragment analysis and the mtDNA structures of 14 patients with occipital stroke and 43 subjects belonging to haplogroup U were examined by CSGE. The data acquired by CSGE were then used to construct a phylogenetic network for the Finnish mtDNA haplogroup U.
