143B.206 rho degrees cells were repopulated with mitochondria from a MELAS
patient harbouring a mixture of 3243G:C and 3243A:T mitochondrial DNA. A
number of biochemical assays were performed on selected cybrids with
various proportions of the two types of mitochondrial DNA. These assays
revealed a marked decrease in oxygen consumption with pyruvate, a complex I
substrate, in cybrids containing 60% to 90% 3243G:C mitochondrial DNA.
Moreover, these cybrids showed decreased synthesis of a number of
polypeptides in a mitochondrial in vitro translation assay. A cybrid line
with a very high level of 3243G:C mitochondrial DNA (95%) had additional
deficiencies in complexes III and IV and there was a marked generalised
decrease in mitochondrial translation in this cybrid. The observation of
complex I deficiency is consistent with previously reported enzymatic
measurements of muscle homogenates from MELAS patients with the 3243G:C
mutation.
