With respect to the MT-ATP6 reading frame (+3), the MT-ATP8 gene ends in the +1 reading frame with a TAG stop codon. The MT-ATP6 protein weighs 24.8 kDa and is composed of 226 amino acids . [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The protein is a subunit of the F 1 F o ATPase, also known as Complex V , which consists of 14 nuclear- and 2 mitochondrial-encoded subunits.
The most common MT-ATP6 mutation found with Leigh syndrome is a point mutation at nucleotide 8993 that changes a thymine to a guanine. This and other point mutations associated with Leigh syndrome destabilize or malform the protein complex and keep energy production down in affected cells. [ 11 ]
MT-ND1 is a gene of the mitochondrial genome coding for the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 1 (ND1) protein. [5] The ND1 protein is a subunit of NADH dehydrogenase , which is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and is the largest of the five complexes of the electron transport chain . [ 6 ]
Start codon (blue circle) of the human mitochondrial DNA MT-ATP6 gene. For each nucleotide triplet (square brackets), the corresponding amino acid is given (one-letter code), either in the +1 reading frame for MT-ATP8 (in red) or in the +3 frame for MT-ATP6 (in blue). In this genomic region, the two genes overlap.
Mitochondrial myopathies are types of myopathies associated with mitochondrial disease. [1] Adenosine triphosphate (), the chemical used to provide energy for the cell, cannot be produced sufficiently by oxidative phosphorylation when the mitochondrion is either damaged or missing necessary enzymes or transport proteins.
With respect to the reading frame (+1) of MT-ATP8, the MT-ATP6 gene starts on the +3 reading frame. The MT-ATP8 protein weighs 8 kDa and is composed of 68 amino acids . [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The protein is a subunit of the F 1 F o ATPase, also known as Complex V , which consists of 14 nuclear- and 2 mitochondrial-encoded subunits.

Neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa, also known as NARP syndrome, is a rare disease with mitochondrial inheritance that causes a variety of signs and symptoms chiefly affecting the nervous system [1] Beginning in childhood or early adulthood, most people with NARP experience numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs (sensory neuropathy); muscle weakness; and problems with ...
