Structure-function defects of human mitochondrial DNA polymerase in autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia.

Abstract excerpt

Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) is a mitochondrial disorder associated with mutations in the POLG gene encoding the mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol gamma). Four autosomal dominant mutations that cause PEO encode the amino acid substitutions G923D, R943H, Y955C and A957S in the polymerase domain of pol gamma. A homology model of the pol gamma catalytic domain in complex with DNA was developed to...
