Abstract excerpt
We present clinical and laboratory data from 14 cases with an isolated deficiency of the mitochondrial ATP synthase (7-30% of control) caused by nuclear genetic defects. A quantitative decrease of the ATP synthase complex was documented by Blue-Native electrophoresis and Western blotting and was supported by the diminished activity of oligomycin/aurovertin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis in fibroblasts (10 cases),...
