malfunction
mutations of conserved enzyme residues affect enzyme activity and lead to poor formylation of mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA and thereby reduced mitochondrial translation efficiency, causing Leigh syndrome
physiological function
N-formylation of initiator methionyl-tRNA (Met-tRNAMet) by methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase is important for translation initiation in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts
physiological function
-
MTFMT is critical for efficient human mitochondrial translation
malfunction
-
heterozygous mutations in MTFMT occur in two unrelated children presenting with Leigh syndrome and combined OXPHOS deficiency. The patient fibroblasts have dramatically reduced fMet-tRNAMet levels and an abnormal formylation profile of mitochondrially translated COX1, and patient fibroblasts exhibit severe defects in mitochondrial translation that can be rescued by exogenous expression of MTFMT. Mitochondrial tRNAMet pools are abnormal in patient fibroblasts, phenotypes, overview
malfunction
-
enzyme mutations are associated with Leigh syndrome, early onset mitochondrial leukoencephalopathy, microcephaly, ataxia, and cardiomyopathy
