Perturbed Redox Signaling Exacerbates a Mitochondrial Myopathy.

Cell metabolism | 2018

Alternative oxidases (AOXs) bypass respiratory complexes III and IV by transferring electrons from coenzyme Q directly to O2. They have therefore been proposed as a potential therapeutic tool for mitochondrial diseases. We crossed the severely myopathic skeletal muscle-specific COX15 knockout (KO) mouse with an AOX-transgenic mouse. Surprisingly, the double KO-AOX mutants had decreased lifespan and a substantial worsening of the myopathy compared with KO alone. Decreased ROS production in KO-AOX versus KO mice led to impaired AMPK/PGC-1α signaling and PAX7/MYOD-dependent muscle regeneration, blunting compensatory responses. Importantly, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine had a similar effect, decreasing the lifespan of KO mice. Our findings have major implications for understanding pathogenic mechanisms in mitochondrial diseases and for the design of therapies, highlighting the benefits of ROS signaling and the potential hazards of antioxidant treatment.

Classifier for Metagenomic Sequences (tool)

RRID:SCR_004929

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 2nd, 2023. Sequence composition based classifier for metagenomic sequences. It works by capturing signatures of each sequence based on the sequence composition. Each sequence is modeled as a walk in a de Bruijn graph with underlying Markov chain properties. ClaMS captures stationary parameters of the underlying Markov chain as well as structural parameters of the underlying de Bruijn graph to form this signature. In practice, for each sequence to binned, such a signature is computed and matched to similar signatures computed for the training sets. The best match that also qualifies the normalized distance cut-off wins. In the case that the best match does not qualify this cut-off, the sequence remains un-binned.
