An animal model for mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase deficiency reveals links between oxidative phosphorylation and retinal function

Xiaofen Jin et al.

Summary: YARS2 deficiency can lead to impaired mitochondrial protein synthesis, affecting the stability and activity of the oxidative phosphorylation system, ultimately causing vision impairments. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, YARS2 knockout was successfully generated in HeLa cells and zebrafish, revealing the underlying pathophysiology and highlighting the critical role of YARS2 in mitochondrial function and vision disorders.

FARS2 deficiency in Drosophila reveals the developmental delay and seizure manifested by aberrant mitochondrial tRNA metabolism

Wenlu Fan et al.

Summary: Mutations in genes encoding mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are associated with various diseases, but the precise mechanisms remain unclear. Using a Drosophila model, researchers found that inactivation of dFARS2 leads to developmental delay and seizure, and modeling human disease-associated FARS2 variants in Drosophila demonstrated their role in inducing neurological disorders. This study highlights the importance of mitochondrial aminoacylation system dysfunction in pathologies and the potential of Drosophila model for functional analysis of human disease-causing variants.

Tissue-specific expression atlas of murine mitochondrial tRNAs

Qiufen He et al.

Summary: The study showed significant tissue-specific differences in mammalian mitochondrial tRNA expression, correlating with mtDNA contents but not with 2-thiouridylation levels of specific tRNAs. Aminoacylation levels of mt-tRNAs varied among tissues, with a negative correlation observed between levels and mitochondrial tRNA synthetases expression. Differential levels of OXPHOS subunits encoded by mtDNA or nuclear genes may reflect functional emphasis for mitochondria in each tissue.

Mechanistic insights into mitochondrial tRNAAla 3′-end metabolism deficiency

Yanchun Ji et al.

Summary: The study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)-associated tRNA(Ala) 5587A>G mutation, which alters tRNA(Ala) 3'-end metabolism and impairs mitochondrial function. The mutation perturbed tRNA(Ala) aminoacylation, mitochondrial translation, oxidative phosphorylation, ATP production, membrane potential, and increased reactive oxygen species production, ultimately leading to visual impairment. The findings may provide new insights into the pathophysiology of LHON arising from mitochondrial tRNA 3'-end metabolism deficiency.

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Arising From the Synergy Between ND1 3635G>A Mutation and Mitochondrial YARS2 Mutations

Xiaofen Jin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the synergic interaction between LHON-associated ND1 and YARS2 mutations, revealing that the mutations lead to greater mitochondrial defects and increased autophagy. The ND1 mutation altered protein structure and function, while the YARS2 mutation affected protein stability. Cells harboring both mutations exhibited more severe deficiencies in mitochondrial function and showed higher levels of autophagy compared to cells with only one mutation.
