The complex I function in sub-mitochondrial particles was studied in platelets from patients and healthy carriers with 11778/ND4 or 3460/ND1 mtDNA point mutations associated with LHON. Both 11778/ND4 and 3460/ND1 mutations induced rotenone resistance and 11778/ND4 showed an increased K(m) for ubiquinol-2 with respect to the control group. It was concluded that even with different pathogenic mechanisms both mutations affect the quinone binding site of complex I.
在患有与Leber遗传性视神经病变(LHON)相关的11778/ND4或3460/ND1线粒体DNA点突变的患者及健康携带者的血小板中,对亚线粒体颗粒中的复合体I功能进行了研究。11778/ND4和3460/ND1突变均诱导鱼藤酮抗性,并且相对于对照组,11778/ND4显示对泛醇-2的米氏常数(K(m))增加。得出的结论是,即使致病机制不同,这两种突变均影响复合体I的醌结合位点。
