Abstract

Tapping the Mitochondrial Proteome: Mitochondria produce the energy that cells need to survive, function, and divide. A growing list of human disorders has been traced to defects in mitochondrial function. About 300 mammalian mitochondrial proteins are functionally uncharacterized, and Hao et al. (p. 1139 , published online 23 July) reasoned that the most highly conserved proteins within this group might provide insights into human disease. A combination of bioinformatics, yeast genetics, biochemistry, and human genetics was used to show that a previously uncharacterized mitochondrial protein (Sdh5) is required for the activity of respiratory complex II. Inactivating mutations in the human gene encoding SDH5 were found in individuals with hereditary paraganglioma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor. Thus, analysis of a mitochondrial protein in yeast has revealed a human tumor susceptibility gene.

  • Despite ubiquitous SDH expression, germline mutations in SDH subunits cause cancer only at a few sites, including paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

    “Despite ubiquitous expression of the metabolic enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), germline mutations in subunits of this complex cause cancer only in a few sites, including neuroendocrine tissues (paraganglioma), the adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma), and the stomach and small intestine (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) (8–10).”

  • Germline SDH mutations in SDHA-SDHD and in SDH assembly factor 2 occur in tumor predisposition syndromes.

    “Germline SDH mutations have been identified in the SDH subunits SDHA–SDHD and also in SDH assembly factor 2 in tumor predisposition syndromes (Hao et al., 2009; Korpershoek et al., 2011; Neumann et al., 2004; Niemann and Müller, 2000; Oudijk et al., 2013; Pollard et al., 2005; Ricketts et al., 2008; Ricketts et al., 2010).”

  • Heterozygous germline mutations in genes encoding SDH and FH facilitate the pathogenesis of certain rare cancers such as paragangliomas and inherited cancer-predisposition syndromes.

    “Consistently, heterozygous germline mutations in genes encoding the TCA cycle enzymes involved in the breakdown of these metabolites—SDH and FH—have been shown to facilitate the pathogenesis of certain rare cancers (e.g., paragangliomas) and inherited cancer-predisposition syndromes (181, 182, 183).”
  • Loss-of-function mutations have been identified in all four subunits of the SDH complex and in SDH5.

    “Loss-of-function mutations have been identified in all four subunits of the SDH complex (Baysal, 2008; Burnichon et al., 2010), and in SDH5, which encodes a protein involved in incorporation of SDH’s flavin adenine dinucleotide cofactor (Hao et al., 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
