Clinico‐Genetic, Imaging and Molecular Delineation of COQ8A‐Ataxia: A Multicenter Study of 59 Patients

Andreas Traschütz, +52 more
- 01 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: The clinicogenetic, molecular, and neuroimaging spectrum of COQ8A‐ataxia in a large worldwide cohort is mapped, and first progression data is provided, including treatment response to coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome associated with muscular coenzyme Q(10) deficiency

TL;DR: The case of a 4-year-old girl who presented a CFC syndrome, confirmed by the presence of a pathogenic R257Q BRAF gene mutation, together with a muscular CoQ10 deficiency, highlights that Co Q10 might contribute to the pathogenesis of CFC Syndrome.

Biosynthesis and applications of prenylquinones

TL;DR: The synthesis and applications of prenylquinones are reviewed, including for phylloquinone (PhQ), which has a phytyl moiety instead of an isoprenyl tail.

A Soluble Metabolon Synthesizes the Isoprenoid Lipid Ubiquinone.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that seven Ubi proteins form the Ubi complex, a stable metabolon that catalyzes the last six reactions of the UQ biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli and highlights how the supramolecular organization of soluble enzymes allows the modification of hydrophobic substrates in a hydrophilic environment.

Multi-omic Mitoprotease Profiling Defines a Role for Oct1p in Coenzyme Q Production

TL;DR: The Oct1p processing of Coq5p as an essential post-translational event for proper CoQ production is defined and the data visualization tool enables efficient exploration of mitoprotease profiles that can serve as the basis for future mechanistic investigations.

A Mitochondrial Protein Compendium Elucidates Complex I Disease Biology

TL;DR: This work predicts 19 proteins to be important for the function of complex I (CI) of the electron transport chain and validate a subset of these predictions using RNAi, including C8orf38, which is shown to have an inherited mutation in a lethal, infantile CI deficiency.

Proteomic Mapping of Mitochondria in Living Cells via Spatially Restricted Enzymatic Tagging

TL;DR: An approach that bridges microscopy and proteomics to produce a spatially and temporally resolved proteomic map of mitochondria from living cells using a genetically targetable peroxidase enzyme that biotinylates nearby proteins, which are subsequently purified and identified by MS.

Proteomic Mapping of Mitochondria in Living Cells via Spatially Restricted Enzymatic Tagging

TL;DR: In this article, a peroxidase-based method was used to identify 495 proteins within the human mitochondrial matrix, including 31 proteins not previously linked to mitochondria, and the labeling was exceptionally specific and distinguished between inner membrane proteins facing the matrix versus the intermembrane space.

Ubiquinol-10 protects human low density lipoprotein more efficiently against lipid peroxidation than does alpha-tocopherol

TL;DR: Investigation of the temporal disappearance of natural antioxidants associated with human low density lipoprotein (LDL) in relation to the appearance of various classes of lipid hydroperoxides shows that ubiquinol-10 is much more efficient in inhibiting LDL oxidation than either lycopene, beta-carotene, or alpha-tocopherol.

Mitochondrial disorders as windows into an ancient organelle

TL;DR: These disorders are reviewed and explored in the context of a contemporary understanding of mitochondrial evolution, biochemistry and genetics to inspire the development of drug treatments for rare and common diseases.
