Maintenance and propagation of a deleterious mitochondrial genome by the mitochondrial UPR
Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) encode essential oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) components. Because hundreds of mtDNAs exist per cell, the presence of a deletion in a single mtDNA has little impact. However, if the deletion genome is enriched, OxPhos declines resulting in cellular dysfunction. For...
