    Abstract The mitochondrial DNA mutation m.9032T>C was previously identified in patients presenting with NARP (Neuropathy Ataxia Retinitis Pigmentosa). Their clinical features had a maternal transmission and patient's cells showed a reduced oxidative phosphorylation capacity, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial inner membrane, providing evidence that m.9032T>C is truly pathogenic. This mutation leads to replacement of a highly conserved leucine residue with proline at position 169 of ATP synthase subunit a (L169P). This protein and a ring of identical c-subunits (c-ring) move protons through the mitochondrial inner membrane coupled to ATP synthesis. We herein investigated the consequences of m.9032T>C on ATP synthase in a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with an equivalent mutation (L186P). The mutant enzyme assembled correctly but was mostly inactive as evidenced by a  > 95% drop in the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis and absence of significant ATP-driven proton pumping across the mitochondrial membrane. Intragenic suppressors selected from L186P yeast restoring ATP synthase function to varying degrees (30-70%) were identified at the original mutation site (L186S) or in another position of the subunit a (H114Q, I118T). In light of atomic structures of yeast ATP synthase recently described, we conclude from these results that m.9032T>C disrupts proton conduction between the external side of the membrane and the c-ring, and that H114Q and I118T enable protons to access the c-ring through a modified pathway.

    Abstract Numerous diseases in humans have been associated with mutations of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). This genome encodes 13 protein subunits of complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), a process that provides aerobic eukaryotes with the energy-rich adenosine triphosphate molecule (ATP). Mutations of the mtDNA may therefore have dramatic consequences especially in tissues and organs with high energy demand. Evaluating the pathogenicity of these mutations may be difficult because they often affect only a fraction of the numerous copies of the mitochondrial genome (up to several thousands in a single cell), which is referred to as heteroplasmy. Furthermore, due to its exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in mitochondria, the mtDNA is prone to mutations, and some may be simply neutral polymorphisms with no detrimental consequences on human health. Another difficulty is the absence of methods for genetically transforming human mitochondria. Face to these complexities, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a convenient model for investigating the consequences of human mtDNA mutations in a defined genetic background. Owing to its good fermentation capacity, it can survive the loss of OXPHOS, its mitochondrial genome can be manipulated, and genetic heterogeneity in its mitochondria is unstable. Taking advantage of these unique attributes, we herein describe a method we have developed for creating yeast models of mitochondrial ATP6 gene mutations detected in patients, to determine how they impact OXPHOS. Additionally, we describe how these models can be used to discover molecules with therapeutic potential.

    Abstract Ion homeostasis is crucial for organism functioning, and its alterations may cause diseases. For example, copper insufficiency and overload are associated with Menkes and Wilson’s diseases, respectively, and iron imbalance is observed in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. To better understand human diseases, Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast are used as a model organism. In our studies, we used the vps13 Δ yeast strain as a model of rare neurological diseases caused by mutations in VPS13A – D genes. In this work, we show that overexpression of genes encoding copper transporters, CTR1 , CTR3 , and CCC2 , or the addition of copper salt to the medium, improved functioning of the vps13 Δ mutant. We show that their mechanism of action, at least partially, depends on increasing iron content in the cells by the copper-dependent iron uptake system. Finally, we present that treatment with copper ionophores, disulfiram, elesclomol, and sodium pyrithione, also resulted in alleviation of the defects observed in vps13 Δ cells. Our study points at copper and iron homeostasis as a potential therapeutic target for further investigation in higher eukaryotic models of VPS13 -related diseases.

    Abstract The list of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants detected in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases is constantly growing. Evaluating their functional consequences and pathogenicity is not easy, especially when they are found in only a limited number of patients together with wild-type mtDNA (heteroplasmy). Owing to its amenability to mitochondrial genetic transformation and incapacity to stably maintain heteroplasmy, and the strong evolutionary conservation of the proteins encoded in mitochondria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a convenient model to investigate the functional consequences of human mtDNA variants. We herein report the construction and energy-transducing properties of yeast models of eight MT-ATP6 gene variants identified in patients with various disorders: m.8843T>C, m.8950G>A, m.9016A>G, m.9025G>A, m.9029A>G, m.9058A>G, m.9139G>A and m.9160T>C. Significant defect in growth dependent on respiration and deficits in ATP production were observed in yeast models of m.8950G>A, m.9025G>A and m.9029A>G, providing evidence of pathogenicity for these variants. Yeast models of the five other variants showed very mild, if any, effect on mitochondrial function, suggesting that the variants do not have, at least alone, the potential to compromise human health.

    Abstract N-terminal ends of polypeptides are critical for the selective co-translational recruitment of N-terminal modification enzymes. However, it is unknown whether specific N-terminal signatures differentially regulate protein fate according to their cellular functions. In this work, we developed an in-silico approach to detect functional preferences in cellular N-terminomes, and identified in S. cerevisiae more than 200 Gene Ontology terms with specific N-terminal signatures. In particular, we discovered that Mitochondrial Targeting Sequences (MTS) show a strong and specific over-representation at position 2 of hydrophobic residues known to define potential substrates of the N-terminal acetyltransferase NatC. We validated mitochondrial precursors as co-translational targets of NatC by selective purification of translating ribosomes, and found that their N-terminal signature is conserved in Saccharomycotina yeasts. Finally, systematic mutagenesis of the position 2 in a prototypal yeast mitochondrial protein confirmed its critical role in mitochondrial protein import. Our work highlights the hydrophobicity of MTS N-terminal residues and their targeting by NatC as important features for the definition of the mitochondrial proteome, providing a molecular explanation for mitochondrial defects observed in yeast or human NatC-depleted cells. Functional mapping of N-terminal residues thus has the potential to support the discovery of novel mechanisms of protein regulation or targeting.

    Abstract Protons are transported from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space of mitochondria during the transfer of electrons to oxygen and shuttled back to the matrix by the a subunit and a ring of identical c subunits across the membrane domain (FO) of ATP synthase, which is coupled to ATP synthesis. A mutation (m.9176 T > G) of the mitochondrial ATP6 gene that replaces an universally conserved leucine residue into arginine at amino acid position 217 of human subunit a (aL217R) has been associated to NARP (Neuropathy, Ataxia and Retinitis Pigmentosa) and MILS (Maternally Inherited Leigh's Syndrome) diseases. We previously showed that an equivalent thereof in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (aL237R) severely impairs subunit a assembly/stability and decreases by >90% the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Herein we identified three spontaneous first-site intragenic suppressors (aR237M, aR237T and aR237S) that fully restore ATP synthase assembly. However, mitochondrial ATP synthesis rate was only partially recovered (40–50% vs wild type yeast). In light of recently described high-resolution yeast ATP synthase structures, the detrimental consequences of the aL237R change can be explained by steric and electrostatic hindrance with the universally conserved subunit a arginine residue (aR176) that is essential to FO activity. aL237 together with three other nearby hydrophobic residues have been proposed to prevent ion shortage between two physically separated hydrophilic pockets within the FO. Our results suggest that aL237 favors subunit c-ring rotation by optimizing electrostatic interaction between aR176 and an acidic residue in subunit c (cE59) known to be essential also to the activity of FO.
