Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a genetically inherited disease of the eye triggered by mtDNA mutations, leading to degeneration of RGCs. We previously reported that the mitochondrial tRNAThr (MT-TT) 15927G > A homoplasmic mutation disrupted the base pairing (28C-42G) conserved in the anticodon stem of tRNAThr, impairing t6A modification, aminoacylation, and steady-state tRNAThr levels, ultimately...
