A Disease-causing Point Mutation in Human Mitochondrial tRNA(Met) Results in tRNA Misfolding Leading to Defects in Translational Initiation and Elongation

The mitochondrial tRNA genes are hot spots for mutations that lead to human disease. A single point mutation (T4409C) in the gene for human mitochondrial tRNA(Met) (hmtRNA(Met)) has been found to cause mitochondrial myopathy. This mutation results in the replacement of U8 in hmtRNA(Met) with a C8. T...
