Case report: a novel frameshift mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase II gene causing mitochondrial disorder

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2017
Background Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 2, MT-CO2, encodes one of the three subunits, which form the catalytic core of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), complex IV.

In vitro and in vivo modulation of NADPH oxidase activity and reactive oxygen species production in human neutrophils by α1-antitrypsin

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2021
Oxidative stress from innate immune cells is a driving mechanism that underlies COPD pathogenesis. Individuals with α-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) have a dramatically increased risk of developing COPD. To understand this further, the aim of this

Premutation in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) Gene Affects Maternal Zn-milk and Perinatal Brain Bioenergetics and Scaffolding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fragile X premutation alleles have 55-200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. Altered zinc (Zn) homeostasis has been reported in fibroblasts from >60 years old premutation carriers, in which Zn supplementation significantly restored Zn ...

The effect of maternal iron deficiency on zinc and copper levels and on genes of zinc and copper metabolism during pregnancy in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Fe deficiency is relatively common in pregnancy and has both short- and long-term consequences. However, little is known about the effect on the metabolism of other micronutrients.

Neuropathologic Aspects of Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency

open access: yesBrain Pathology, 2000
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency is an important cause of myopathy or encephalomyopathy. Considering the structural complexity of COX, its dual genetic control, and the several nuclear genes needed for its proper assembly, the phenotypic heterogeneity is not surprising.

A differential genome-wide transcriptome analysis : impact of cellular copper on complex biological processes like aging and development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The regulation of cellular copper homeostasis is crucial in biology. Impairments lead to severe dysfunctions and are known to affect aging and development.

The P174L mutation in human Sco1 severely compromises Cox17-dependent metallation but does not impair copper binding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
International audienceSco1 is a metallochaperone that is required for copper delivery to the Cu(A) site in the CoxII subunit of cytochrome c oxidase. The only known missense mutation in human Sco1, a P174L substitution in the copper-binding domain, is ...
