Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study aimed to repurpose FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of mitochondrial complex I diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The NUO-51 protein of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina is the homolog of the human key catalytic subunit of complex I, NDUFV1. By introducing a pathogenic mutation into P. anserina NUO-51 we created a novel model of complex I deficiency targeting the NDUFV1 subunit. The...
