Mutations of theSCO1Gene in Mitochondrial CytochromecOxidase Deficiency with Neonatal‐Onset Hepatic Failure and Encephalopathy

Abstract: Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) catalyzes both electron transfer from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen and the concomitant vectorial proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Studying a large family with multiple cases of neonatal ketoacidotic comas and isolated COX deficiency, we have mapped the disease locus to chromosome 17p13.1, in a region encompassing two candidate genes involved in COX assembly-namely, SCO1 and COX10. Mutation screening revealed compound heterozygosity for SCO1 gene mutations i… Show more

“…Although the P174L variant has wild-type copper binding properties, its function in vivo is severely compromised as evidenced by the pronounced CcO assembly defect in SCO1 patient tissues and fibroblasts (6,10). Overexpression of the mutant SCO1 in patient fibroblasts only partially suppressed the CcO deficiency, consistent with a loss of function mutation.…”

“…Isolated CcO deficiency, one of the most commonly recognized causes of respiratory chain defects in humans, is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes (3,4), and autosomal recessive mutations have been identified in six nuclear genes that encode CcO assembly factors in these patients (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Two such factors, SCO1 and SCO2, encode metallochaperones that play a role in the copper ion metallation of the Cu A site in CoxII.…”

“…It is not clear why two SCO proteins are present in human mitochondria. Mutations in SCO2 have been reported in several unrelated patients (18,30,31), but only a single family with SCO1 mutations has been described (32). The patients from this family carried a frameshift mutation on one allele, introducing a premature termination codon, and a missense mutation on the other allele, resulting in a proline to leucine replacement immediately adjacent to the CXXXC motif.…”

“…The fibroblast cultures which we investigated were derived from four unrelated patients with SURF1 mutations (40,41), a patient with SCO1 mutations (32), and a patient with a COX10 mutation (38). Quantitative immunoblot analysis of native gels revealed residual levels of fully assembled enzyme in all cultures but also some accumulation of subassemblies.…”
