Mitochondrial ribosomal proteins: Candidate genes for mitochondrial disease

Abstract: Most of the energy requirement for cell growth, differentiation, and development is met by the mitochondria in the form of ATP produced by the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Human mitochondrial DNA encodes a total of 13 proteins, all of which are essential for oxidative phosphorylation. The mRNAs for these proteins are translated on mitochondrial ribosomes. Recently, the genes for human mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs) have been identified. In this review, we summarize their refined chromosomal l… Show more

“…MRPs are required for the translation of all 13 mitochondria genes. Proteins which are essential for mitochondrial ribosome formation are candidates for involvement in human genetic disease [O'Brien, 2002;Sylvester et al, 2004]. Ribosomal proteins have shown to precipitate in controlling protein biosynthesis and ribosome biogenesis, and the MRPs are directly involved in this process.…”

“…Metaphyseal dysplasia has not been reported in DBA. There is marked inter-and intra-familial variability [Sylvester et al, 2004]. About 25% of DBA is due to mutations in the ribosomal protein S19 gene (RPS19) [Draptchinskaia et al, 1999].…”
