The human mitochondrial genome comprises a distinct genetic system transcribed as precursor polycistronic transcripts that are subsequently cleaved to generate individual mRNAs, tRNAs and rRNAs. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of the human mitochondrial transcriptome across multiple cell li...

Adeno-associated viral (AAV) small hairpin (shRNA) expression vectors are a promising therapeutic but can induce severe liver toxicity when delivered at high albeit undefined doses. Using various AAV-shRNA vectors under the high-expressing U6 and low-expressing H1 promoters, we found that dose-limi...

Mitoribosomes are essential for synthesis and maintenance of bioenergetic proteins. Here, we use cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine a series of the small mitoribosomal subunit (SSU) intermediates in complex with auxiliary factors, revealing a sequential assembly mechanism. The methyltran...

Consumption of a protein containing meal by a fasted animal promotes protein accretion in skeletal muscle, in part through leucine stimulation of protein synthesis and indirectly through repression of protein degradation mediated by its metabolite, α-ketoisocaproate. Mice lacking the mitochondrial ...

The fidelity of translation is crucial in prokaryotes and for the nuclear-encoded proteins of eukaryotes, however little is known about the role of mistranslation in mitochondria and its effects on metabolism. We generated yeast and mouse models with error-prone and hyperaccurate mitochondrial trans...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an adult-onset movement disorder of largely unknown etiology. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations of the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) cause the recessive PARK6 variant of PD. Now we generated a PINK1 deficient mo...

Defects of mitochondrial functions lead in humans to vast array of usually multisystemic pathologies and several hundreds of diseases resulting from various defects of mitochondria biogenesis and maintenance, defects of respiratory chain complexes (OXPHOS) or defects of individual mitochondrial prot...

Protein-RNA interactions are integral components of nearly every aspect of biology including regulation of gene expression, assembly of cellular architectures, and pathogenesis of human diseases. However, studies in the past few decades have only uncovered a small fraction of the vast landscape of t...

Roberts syndrome (RBS) is a human developmental disorder caused by mutations in the cohesin acetyltransferase ESCO2. We previously reported that mTORC1 was inhibited and overall translation was reduced in RBS cells. Treatment of RBS cells with L-leucine partially rescued mTOR function and protein sy...
