Analysis of the assembly profiles for mitochondrial- and nuclear-DNA-encoded subunits into complex I.

TL;DR: A mechanism of complex I biogenesis involving two complementary processes, synthesis of mtDNA-encoded subunits to seed de novo assembly and exchange of preexisting subunits with newly imported ones to maintain complex I homeostasis is pointed to.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations of the mitochondrial ND1 gene as a cause of MELAS

TL;DR: Three unrelated patients with MELAS and isolated complex I deficiency in skeletal muscle and cultured fibroblasts are reported due to previously unreported mutations in the MTND1 gene, confirming a crucial role for the ND1 subunit in the assembly of complex I holoenzyme.
