Mutations in mtDNA-encoded components of the mitochondrial translational apparatus are associated with diverse pathological states in humans, notably sensorineural deafness. To develop animal models of such disorders, we have manipulated the nuclear gene for mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 in Drosophila (technical knockout, tko). The prototypic mutant tko(25t) exhibits developmental delay, bang sensitivity, impaired male courtship, and defective response to sound. On the basis of a transgenic reversion test, these phenotypes are attributable to a single substitution (L85H) at a conserved residue of the tko protein. The mutant is hypersensitive to doxycyclin, an antibiotic that selectively inhibits mitochondrial protein synthesis, and mutant larvae have greatly diminished activities of mitochondrial redox enzymes and decreased levels of mitochondrial small-subunit rRNA. A second mutation in the tko gene, Q116K, which is predicted to impair the accuracy of mitochondrial translation, results in the completely different phenotype of recessive female sterility, based on three independent transgenic insertions. We infer that the tko(25t) mutant provides a model of mitochondrial hearing impairment resulting from a quantitative deficiency of mitochondrial translational capacity. 相似文献

We report the discovery and characterization of a novel nucleolar protein. This protein, referred to as pNO40 based on its molecular weight on SDS-PAGE, was identified through yeast two hybrid interaction screen of a human kidney cDNA library using pinin (pnn) protein as the bait. The deduced amino acids of pNO40 derived from cDNA cloning of diverse species display high conservation; 95% identify between human and mouse and 57.3% identity for human and zebrafish. Several distinct domains are discernable in the ORF of pNO40, including a ribosomal protein S1 RNA binding region, a CCHC type zinc finger, and clusters of basic amino acid representing potential nucleolar targeting signal. Immunostaining of endogenous or transfected pNO40 indicated that it is localized to nucleoli of diverse cultured cells, with some concentration in the granular component of nucleoli. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that pNO40 message is expressed ubiquitously across all tissues examined. Characterization of human and mouse pNO40 gene revealed that mouse gene spans 44 kb in length and contains 8 exons, while that of human is 68 kb in length and displays two isoforms generated by alternative splicing of the 5(')-untranslated region and differential usage of translation start site. Based on sequence features and its subcellular location, we predict that pNO40 is a novel nucleolar protein with function related to ribosome maturation and/or biogenesis. 相似文献
