Mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) Gene
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/life13020554

Mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) is considered a hot-spot for non-syndromic and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. However, many patients have been described with more extensive neurological diseases, mainly including epilepsy, myoclonus, ataxia, and myopathy. 

mitochondrial DNA tRNASer(UCN) homoplasmic mutation

1. Introduction

Mitochondrial diseases are multisystemic disorders with prominent involvement of the central nervous system and the skeletal and cardiac muscles. The primary molecular defects in these diseases  are mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Many syndromes have been connected with specific mutations and some phenotypes can guide an easy recognition in typical patients. On the other hand, sometimes there is a high variability within the same family with different phenotypes in people carrying the same mutation. Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most common mtDNA-related disorder in adults, with subacute blindness in young males due to bilateral optic atrophy. Approximately 95% of LHON cases are due to three primary mutations (m.11778G>A, m.3460G>A, m.14484T>C) affecting genes encoding complex I subunits [1]. Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), caused in the most cases by A-to-G transition at nucleotide 3243 in tRNALeu(UUR) gene [2], usually presents in children and young adults after normal milestones with headache, hemiparesis, cortical blindness, and hemianopia due to infarct not corresponding to the distribution of major vessels. Myoclonus, epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF), caused by A-to-G transition at nucleotide 8344 in tRNALys gene [3], is characterized by myopathy, seizures, myoclonus, and ataxia. Maternally inherited myopathy and cardiomyopathy (MMC), caused by A-to-G transition at nucleotide 3260 in tRNALeu(UUR) affect young adults [4]. Finally, maternally inherited Leigh syndrome (MILS), a severe infantile encephalopathy with symmetric lesions in the basal ganglia, and neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) are associated with the m. 8993T>G mutation in ATP6. It is interesting that this mutation is expressed as NARP when mutant mtDNA proportion is 70–90% of total mtDNA and as MILS when this proportion is >90% [1]. Also, a few families have been described with distinct mitochondrial syndromes due to mutations in the mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) [5].
Mutations in mtDNA are transmitted by maternal inheritance because at fertilization all mitochondria are derived from the oocyte [6]. Hence, a mother carrying a mtDNA mutation will transmit it to all offspring, both males and females, but only her daughters will pass it to the progenies.
When a mtDNA pathogenic mutation affects some but not all genomes in a cell or in a tissue, the whole individual will harbor two population of mtDNA, the one normal and the other mutant, a condition known as heteroplasmy [6]. Mutations in mtDNA are usually heteroplasmic with mutant and wild type mtDNAs coexisting in tissues. It is assumed that in normal tissues all mtDNA were considered identical (homoplasmy), but it is not correct at all. Indeed, NGS techniques have revealed the coexistence of mutated mtDNA variants (among 0.2 and 2% of heteroplasmy) in unaffected individuals. Definitively, the concept of heteroplasmy is not absolute, but a minimal critical number of mutant genomes in affected tissue is needed for biochemical and clinical manifestations (threshold effect). As a consequence, even small decreases in the amount of wild type mtDNA may be sufficient to cause disease in such conditions. This might account for the high-variable clinical phenotypes involving many organs and tissues even in the same family. Furthermore, there is a possible variability in mtDNA even in the same subject at different times this may lead to phenotype progression with age and disparities among different tissues.
In this context, it is really difficult to determine the pathogenicity of novel mutations in mt-tRNA genes, particularly when are associated with dominance, segregation in a tissue or homoplasmy. However, in some conditions homoplasmic mutations have been demonstrated to have a pathogenic role.

2. Mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) Gene

A girl presenting with profound intellectual disability, spastic tetraplegia, myoclonic epilepticus status, sensorineural hearing loss and myopathy, with severe COX deficiency at muscle biopsy, carried a novel homoplasmic m.7484A>G mutation in the tRNASer(UCN) gene. Her clinical history was characterized by epilepsia partialis continua and vomiting, typical of MELAS syndrome [7], leading to generalized mioclonus epilepticus status and severe cerebral atrophy with rapid motor and cognitive deterioration. Her mother, carrying the same mutation, showed cognitive deficit, cerebellar ataxia, myoclonic epilepsy, sensorineural hearing loss and myopathy with COX deficient ragged-red fibers consistent with MERRF syndrome.
Mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) is considered a hot-spot for non-syndromic and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss, including the m.7444G>A, m.7445A>C, m.7445A>G, m.7510T>C, m.7511T>C mutations [8][9][10][11][12]. However, many patients have been described with more extensive neurological disease including progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), epilepsy, myoclonus, ataxia, and myopathy [13][14][15][16].
Moreover, mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) mutations were associated with non-neurological disease such as cardiovascular disease [17], hypertension [18], renal disease [19], polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance [20].

Table 1 shows all of the mutations identified in the tRNASer(UCN) and the clinical phenotypes from the literature.

First, the mutation was absent in 56910 mtDNA genomes according to the website Mitomap and in our 162 Italian individuals (normal and disease control subjects), indicating that it is unlikely in the general population or in association with other known pathogenic mtDNA mutations. In addition, it was associated with abnormal morphological and biochemical mitochondrial features in the proband and in her mother. Moreover, a marked decrease in level of four mtDNA-encoded polypeptides was observed using a western blot analysis, supporting a correlation of the m.7484A>G mutation with the impairment of mitochondrial protein synthesis.
This change disrupts the highly conserved third base of the anticodon triplet of tRNASer(UCN), that may compromise its function as tRNA identity determinant. In fact, many anticondon sequences are recognized by their cognate aminoacyl tRNA synthetase for specific amino acid addition [53][54] and one single base change may lead to noncharging [55], resulting in a lack of functional tRNASer(UCN) which is necessary for protein synthesis.
Furthermore, heteroplasmy has been traditionally considered important evidence for the pathogenicity of a mtDNA mutation, and an important determinant of the clinical phenotype [56], while homoplasmic changes generally tend to be underestimated.
However, the mutation found, although homoplasmic in the proband and her mother, is pathogenic. Indeed this is strongly supported by literature with the increasing evidence that pathogenic homoplasmic mtDNA defects are more common than previously thought [57], in particular in the tRNASer(UCN) gene [5][8][9][10][12][15][16][29]. In fact, such mutations are often homoplasmic or at high levels of heteroplasmy, suggesting that high threshold of the mutated mtDNA must accumulate for pathogenicity [24].
Mutations affecting the anticodon triplet of tRNAs, are hypothetically likely to be pathogenic because interfere with the decoding process of a tRNA. Suppositionally these variants are incompatible with early developmental stages or lethal in embryogenesis and for this reason are rarely reported [58]; in fact, only seven previous mutations have been described associated to different phenotypes, especially encephalomyopathies [59][60][61][62][63][64][65].
Finally, the possibility that this mutation might represent a neutral polymorphism, is not supported by the absence of mutations in the exome.
