Abstract excerpt
Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF) is a maternally inherited mitochondrial neuromuscular disease. We previously reported a significant decrease of mRNA and protein levels of nuclear DNA-encoded carbonic anhydrase VIII (CA8) in MERRF cybrids harboring A8344G mutation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In this study, we established a reporter construct of luciferase gene-carrying hCA8 promoter containing...
