The F(o)F(1)-ATPase, a multisubunit protein complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane, produces most of the ATP in mammalian cells. Mitochondrial diseases as a result of a dysfunction of ATPase can be caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA-encoded ATPase subunit a or rarely by an ATPase defect of nuclear origin. Here we present a detailed functional and immunochemical analysis of a new case of selective and generalized ATPase deficiency found in an Austrian patient. The defect manifested with developmental delay, muscle hypotonia, failure to thrive, ptosis, and varying lactic acidemia (up to 12 mmol/L) beginning from the neonatal period. A low-degree dilated cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle developed between the age of 1 and 2 y. A >90% decrease in oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity and an 86% decrease in the content of the ATPase complex was found in muscle mitochondria. It was associated with a significant decrease of ADP-stimulated respiration of succinate (1.5-fold) and respiratory control with ADP (1.7-fold) in permeabilized muscle fibers, and with a slight decrease of the respiratory chain complex I and compensatory increase in the content of complexes III and IV. The same ATPase deficiency without an increase in respiratory chain complexes was found in fibroblasts, suggesting a generalized defect with tissue-specific manifestation. Absence of any mutations in mitochondrial ATP6 and ATP8 genes indicates a nuclear origin of the defect.

We determined the complete mitochondrial genomes of Pseudolabrus sieboldi and P. eoethinus, and analyzed the genome organization, codon usage, and transition/transversion mutation ratio of the mitochondrial genome. The mitochondrial genomes of P. sieboldi and P. eoethinus are 16,507 and 16,508 bp in length, respectively, and consisted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs), which is typical for vertebrate mitochondrial DNA. All protein-coding genes of two species used the initiation codon ATG except the cytochrome c oxidase subunit (CO) 1, which began with GTG as an initiation codon. However, the termination codon for the NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND) 6 gene encoded with TAA in P. sieboldi, and TAG in P. eoethinus. The 12S and 16S rRNA genes were 949 and 1694 bp, respectively, in P. sieboldi, and were 948 and 1693 bp in P. eoethinus. The A + T content of the two rRNA genes were 52.9% in P. sieboldi and 52.5% in P. eoethinus, which is slightly lower than that of other labrid species. The identity of the 13 protein-coding genes ranged between 67% (ND6) and 94% (CO2 and ATP8). The G + C contents of all of the protein-coding genes of P. sieboldi were slightly higher than those of P. eoethinus. Our data contribute to the identification, and further our understanding, of the comparative genetics of Pseudolabrus species distributed in East Asia.

Here, we report the complete nucleotide sequence of the 39 107-bp mitochondrial genome of the yeast Pichia sorbitophila. This genome is closely related to those of Candida parapsilosis and Debaryomyces hansenii, as judged from sequence similarities and synteny conservation. It encodes three subunits of cytochrome oxidase (COX1, COX2 and COX3), three subunits of ATP synthase (ATP6, ATP8 and ATP9), the seven subunits of NADH dehydrogenase (NAD1-6 and NAD4L), the apocytochrome b (COB), the large and small rRNAs and a complete set of tRNAs. Although the mitochondrial genome of P. sorbitophila contains the same core of mitochondrial genes observed in the ascomycetous yeasts, those coding for the RNAse P and the ribosomal protein VAR1p are missing. Moreover, the mtDNA of P. sorbitophila contains several introns in its genes and has the particularity of possessing an intron, which is not linked to any upstream exon.

Though left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVNC) is frequently associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, it has not been reported in association with the transition m.3308T>C of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1) gene. The index patient is a 16-year-old Tunisian female who was investigated for a systolic murmur and cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed tricuspid insufficiency, moderate left ventricular dilatation, Ebstein's anomaly, a superior caval vein draining into the coronary sinus and, surprisingly, LVNC of the apex and the lateral wall. LVNC was absent in all other cardiologically investigated siblings. RNA and mtDNA sequence analysis revealed the known homoplasmic mutation m.3308T>C resulting in the replacement of the first amino acid methionine by threonine in the ND1 subunit of respiratory chain complex I. The m.3308T>C mutation was also present in the patient's mother and several other family members but absent in 350 controls. Additionally, the index patient carried the polymorphisms m.8248A>G in the COX2 gene and m.8468C>T in the ATP8 gene. It is concluded that LVNC may be associated with the known homoplasmic m.3308T>C mutation in the ND1 gene. However, the pathogenetic role of this mutation in the development of LVNC remains elusive.

We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences of the striped field mice Apodemus agrarius coreae and Apodemus agrarius chejuensis. The mt genomes of A. a. coreae and A. a. chejuensis are 16,260 and 16,261 base pairs in length, respectively. The general features of the 13 protein-coding genes of the two species are similar to those of other rodents. The TAG termination codon for NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND) 3 is unique to Apodemus in the Muroidea. The L-strand replication origin has the potential to form a stable stem-loop structure. Within the control region, a termination-associated sequence and several conserved sequence blocks were observed. The diversity of the 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region between the two species ranged between 0.005 (ATP8) and 0.027 (ND4L).

Ascoviruses are large, enveloped DNA viruses that induce remarkable changes in cellular architecture during which the cell is partitioned into numerous vesicles for viral replication. Previous studies have shown that these vesicles arise from a process resembling apoptosis yet which differs after nuclear lysis in that mitochondria are not degraded but are modified by the virus, changing in size, shape, and motility. Moreover, infection does not provoke an obvious innate immune response. Thus, we used in vivo RNA sequencing to determine whether infection by the Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus 1a (SfAV-1a) modified expression of host mitochondrial, cytoskeletal, and innate immunity genes. We show that transcripts from many mitochondrial genes were similar to those from uninfected controls, whereas others increased slightly during vesicle formation, including those for ATP6, ATP8 synthase, and NADH dehydrogenase subunits, supporting electron microscopy (EM) data that these organelles were conserved for virus replication. Transcripts from 58 of 106 cytoskeletal genes studied increased or decreased more than 2-fold postinfection. More than half coded for mitochondrial motor proteins. Similar increases occurred for innate immunity transcripts and their negative regulators, including those for Toll, melanization, and phagocytosis pathways. However, those for many antimicrobial peptides, such as moricin, increased more than 20-fold. In addition, transcripts for gloverin-3, spod_x_tox, Hdd23, and lebocin, also antimicrobial, increased more than 20-fold. Interestingly, a phenoloxidase inhibitor transcript increased 12-fold, apparently to interfere with melanization. SfAV-1a destroys most fat body cells by 7 days postinfection, so innate immunity gene transcripts apparently occur in remaining cells in this tissue and possibly other major tissues, namely, epidermis and tracheal matrix.IMPORTANCE Ascoviruses are large DNA viruses that infect insects, inducing a cellular pathology that resembles apoptosis but which differs by causing enormous cellular hypertrophy followed by cleavage of the cell into numerous viral vesicles for replication. Previous EM studies suggest that mitochondria are important for vesicle formation. Transcriptome analyses of Spodoptera frugiperda larvae infected with SfAV-1a showed that mitochondrial transcripts were similar to those from uninfected controls or increased slightly during vesicle formation, especially for ATP6, ATP8 synthase, and NADH dehydrogenase subunits. This pattern resembles that for chronic disease-inducing viruses, which conserve mitochondria, differing markedly from viruses causing short-term viral diseases, which degrade mitochondrial DNA. Though mitochondrial transcript increases were low, our results demonstrate that SfAV-1a alters host mitochondrial expression more than any other virus. Regarding innate immunity, although SfAV-1a destroys most fat body cells, certain immunity genes were highly upregulated (greater than 20-fold), suggesting that these transcripts may originate from other tissues.
