Abstract
Devastating human neuromuscular disorders have been associated to defects in the ATP synthase. This enzyme is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the last step in oxidative phosphorylation, which provides aerobic eukaryotes with ATP. With the advent of structures of complete ATP synthases, and the availability of genetically approachable systems such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we can begin to understand these molecular machines and their associated defects at the molecular level. In this review, we describe what is known about the clinical syndromes induced by 58 different mutations found in the mitochondrial genes encoding membrane subunits 8 and a of ATP synthase, and evaluate their functional consequences with respect to recently described cryo-EM structures.
Introduction
Mitochondria support aerobic respiration and produce the bulk of cellular ATP by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) (Saraste, 1999). Electrons provided by the oxidation of fatty acids and carbohydrates are shuttled to oxygen along four respiratory chain (RC) complexes (I–IV) embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), producing water and releasing the energy necessary to pump protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space (IMS). This results in the formation of transmembrane electrochemical ion gradient across the IMM, also called the proton-motive force (pmf). The outer side of the IMM is positively charged (the p-side) while the inner side is negatively charged (the n-side). The pmf enables the F1Fo ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Boyer, 1997). The OXPHOS complexes contain ~90 structural proteins of which 13 are encoded by the mtDNA in humans.
More than 150 distinct genetic mitochondrial dysfunction syndromes characterized by a diminished OXPHOS capacity have been described (Tuppen et al., 2010; Hejzlarova et al., 2014; Chinnery, 2015; Ng and Turnbull, 2015; Stewart and Chinnery, 2015; Xu et al., 2015). These diseases affect at least 1 in 5,000 live human births (Skladal et al., 2003). Typical clinical traits include visual/hearing defects, encephalopathies, cardiomyopathies, myopathies, diabetes, liver, and renal dysfunctions (Table 1; Dimauro and Schon, 2003; Zeviani and Carelli, 2007; Vafai and Mootha, 2012). Many known cases result from alterations in mtDNA (~15%, e.g., NARP, MILS, LHON), which occur as a result of this DNA's high susceptibility to mutations because of the nearby ROS production and the poor effectiveness of the mitochondrial DNA repair system (Wallace, 2010). More than 600 different point mutations and innumerable large-scale rearrangements of mtDNA have been implicated in human diseases (Lott et al., 2013).

Diseases and syndromes caused by mutations in ATP8 and ATP6.
This review focuses on mutations in the MT-ATP8 and MT-ATP6 genes (further named ATP8 and ATP6) encoding subunits 8 and a of ATP synthase, respectively, that were identified in patients with various disorders. We summarize what is known about their clinical and functional consequences. Based on recent high-resolution structures (Morales-Rios et al., 2015a; Zhou et al., 2015; Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017), we define the topological locations of these mutations, which helps understand their impact on ATP synthase structure, function and assembly.
ATP synthase structure and function
Mitochondrial ATP synthase is a unique macromolecular rotary machine of ~625 kDa. It is composed of typically 17 different protein subunits (Figure 1) and organizes into a membrane-extrinsic F1 catalytic and membrane-embedded Fo domains, which are connected by a peripheral and central stalk (Allegretti et al., 2015; Morales-Rios et al., 2015a; Zhou et al., 2015). The matrix-oriented F1 is composed of a prominent (αβ)3 catalytic head into which the γδε central stalk rotor penetrates. The Foc-ring typically consists of identical c subunits (subunit 9 in yeast). Together with subunit a, the c-ring shuttles protons across the membrane. The Fo domain further consists of subunits 8 (alias A6L), b (4 in yeast), f, d, F6 (h in yeast), and OSCP that together form the peripheral stalk connecting the catalytic head with the membrane stator. Three mitochondria-specific subunits, e, g, k, induce either directly or indirectly the formation of ATP synthase dimers (Hahn et al., 2016) that self-assemble in longer ribbons important for cristae formation (Parsons, 1963; Strauss et al., 2008).

For simplicity the structure is shown without subunits e, f, g, I, and a truncated subunit b. The figure was made in Pymol (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, Version 0.99, Schrödinger, LLC), using the following color code: α, forest; β, split pea; γ, density; δ, cyan; ε, white; OSCP, red; b (= 4 in yeast), dirty violet; d, orange; h, salmon; 8, green; a, blue; c-ring, yellow. The arrows indicate the path of protons (see also Figure 4) and nucleotide conversion. For details see text.
The ATP synthase harbors a unique rotary mechanism driven by the pmf to translocate ions through Fo, to generate rotation of its rotor and transmit torque into the F1 catalytic head where finally ATP is synthesized and released. Subunit a provides a pathway that involves a number of hydrophilic amino acids, which allows protons to enter from the IMS (Figure 1). Approximately in the middle of the membrane the proton can bind to a highly conserved acidic residue of subunit c helix 2 (cH2) (cE59 in H. sapiens) located at the outer surface of the c-ring. It has been suggested that the binding of a proton on this carboxylate residue disrupts a previously established electrostatic interaction of cE59 with a highly conserved, positively charged arginine residue in subunit a membrane helix 5 (aH5) (aR159 in H. sapiens; Vik and Antonio, 1994; Junge et al., 1997; Pogoryelov et al., 2010; Guo et al., 2017). This arginine acts as an electrostatic separator between the proton pathway from the IMS to the middle of the membrane and a second, spatially separated pathway that allows incoming protons still bound on the c-ring glutamate to be released into the matrix (Mitome et al., 2010). The operation direction of this process is primarily driven by the ion gradient that causes a ratchet type mechanism of the neutralized c-ring glutamate in the hydrophobic membrane, which is energetically unfavorable and does not allow the back stepping without externally applied force (Vik and Antonio, 1994; Junge et al., 1997). After an almost complete revolution of the c-ring, the glutamate is deprotonated in the aqueous exit channel (Pogoryelov et al., 2010). This channel is formed by hydrophilic residues of the c-ring/subunit a interface at the matrix side through which the protons can reach the matrix (n-Side) (Allegretti et al., 2015; Morales-Rios et al., 2015a; Zhou et al., 2015; Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017). The c-ring is tightly bound to the central stalk subunits γδε, of which subunit γ protrudes into the F1 catalytic head, which induces cyclic conformational changes when rotating (Abrahams et al., 1994). Consequently, ADP and Pi are sequentially converted at the catalytic sites of the three subunits β, according to the binding change mechanism (Boyer, 1997). Cryo-EM structures of the bovine Bos taurus and yeasts Yarrowia lipolytica and Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1Fo ATP synthases, that are basically of the same subunit composition and structural construction as the human enzyme, have been described recently [15–17]. These structures show a very similar overall architecture and differ only with respect to the subunit c (9) stoichiometry (8 in mammals, 10 in yeasts), the loss of the dimerization domain subunits (e/g/k) during purification (yeast) and the non-essential and yeast specific subunits i and k (Zhou et al., 2015; Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017). It therefore has become feasible to build reliable structural models of the membrane domain (Fo) of the eukaryotic, mitochondrial, ATP synthase (Figure 1), and to map the human disease-causing mutations at the molecular level within the ATP synthase structure and to pin-point their potentially adverse effects on the above-described mechanism.
Yeast and human cellular models of mtDNA diseases
Human cells contain up to thousands copies of mtDNA (Miller et al., 2003). Mutations in this DNA are highly recessive and usually co-exist with wild type mtDNA molecules, a situation referred to as heteroplasmy. A mutational load above 60% is usually required to induce a clinical phenotype (Stewart and Chinnery, 2015). Given the high mutational rate of the mitochondrial genome and the presence of numerous family or population-specific polymorphisms, it can be difficult to distinguish between a neutral mtDNA variant and a disease-causing mutation. Additionally, the effects of deleterious mtDNA mutations might be exacerbated by mtDNA nucleotide changes that are not pathogenic per se and by unknown factors in nuclear genetic background, i.e., the so-called modifier genes (Cai et al., 2008; Swalwell et al., 2008). These features make it difficult from patient's cells and tissues to precisely know how specific mtDNA mutations influence oxidative phosphorylation.
To better characterize the effects of mtDNA mutations, homoplasmic cell lines, i.e. with a 100% mutational load, in a defined nuclear genetic background are required. To this end King and Attardi (King and Attardi, 1989) developed an approach that used cybrid (cytoplasmic hybrid) cell lines obtained by fusing enucleated cytoplasts from patient's cells with cells lacking mtDNA (ρ0). This approach was used to evaluate the bioenergetics consequences of 11 ATP6 mutations (Trounce et al., 1994; Majander et al., 1997; Nijtmans et al., 2001; Carrozzo et al., 2004; Mattiazzi et al., 2004; Pallotti et al., 2004; Jonckheere et al., 2008; Sikorska et al., 2009; Aure et al., 2013; Blanco-Grau et al., 2013; Lopez-Gallardo et al., 2014; Hejzlarova et al., 2015; Wen et al., 2016). Another approach exploits unique features of S. cerevisiae. Mitochondria from this single-celled fungus and humans show many similarities (Steinmetz et al., 2002; Prokisch et al., 2004; Reinders et al., 2006; Pagliarini et al., 2008; Rhee et al., 2013), and mitochondrial genetic transformation can be achieved in this yeast in a highly controlled fashion, by the biolistic delivery into mitochondria of in-vitro-made mutated mtDNA fragments, followed by their integration into wild type mtDNA by homologous DNA recombination (Bonnefoy and Fox, 2001). Being unable to stably maintain heteroplasmy (Okamoto et al., 1998), it is easy to obtain yeast homoplasmic populations where all mtDNA molecules carry a mutation of interest. Owing to its good fermenting capacity, yeast models of human mitochondrial diseases can be kept alive when provided with sugars like glucose even when oxidative phosphorylation is completely inactivated (Baile and Claypool, 2013; Lasserre et al., 2015). This approach was used to investigate the impact on ATP synthase of nine ATP6 mutations identified in patients (Rak et al., 2007; Kucharczyk et al., 2009a,b,c, 2010, 2013; Kabala et al., 2014; Lasserre et al., 2015; Niedzwiecka et al., 2016; Wen et al., 2016).
Pathogenic mutations in ATP8 and ATP6
Subunits 8 and a are synthesized from a bi-cistronic mRNA unit (Figure 2). The two genes show a 46 nucleotide overlap. Thus, mutations in this unit can affect either subunit a or 8, or both. Currently, 36 different ATP8 and ATP6 mutations with a confirmed or suspected pathogenic character are recorded in MITOMAP database (Figure 3). We here review 22 additional mutations found in literature. The nucleotide and amino acid changes induced by these mutations, and what is known about their functional and clinical consequences is summarized in Table 2.

Mutations affecting only subunit 8
Ten mutations affecting only subunit 8 were identified in patients presenting with various disorders: epilepsy [m.8502A>T (8N46I)] (Gurses et al., 2014); LVHT or MIDD [m.8381A>G (8T6A)] (Perucca-Lostanlen et al., 2000; Finsterer et al., 2004); brain pseudo-atrophy, episodic weakness and neurological disorders [m.8393C>T (8P10S) (Galimberti et al., 2006), m.8403T>C (8I13T) (Aure et al., 2013), and m.8411A>G (8M16V) (Mkaouar-Rebai et al., 2010)], heart problems [m.8481C>T (8P39L)] (Tansel et al., 2014); schizophrenia [m.8463A>G (8Y33C), m.8510A>G (8K49E) and m.8519G>A (8E52K)] (Ueno et al., 2009; Sequeira et al., 2015); and autism [m.8472C>T (8P36L)] (Piryaei et al., 2012).
Mutations affecting both subunits 8 and a
Three mutations affecting both subunits 8 and a [m.8528T>C (8W55R + aM1T), m.8529G>A (8W55STOP + aM1I), m.8558C>T (8P65S + aA11V)] were identified in patients suffering from severe cardiomyopathies (Jonckheere et al., 2008; Ware et al., 2009; Tang et al., 2010; Imai et al., 2016). A fourth mutation affecting both proteins [m.8561C>G (8P66A + aP12R)] was detected in individuals with features of cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and diabetes mellitus (Kytovuori et al., 2016).
Mutations affecting only subunit a
Most frequent mutations
-
Two mutations at the same amino acid position of subunit a, m.8993T>G (aL156R) and m.8993T>C (aL156P), were identified in numerous patients presenting with the NARP or MILS syndrome depending on the mutation load (Uziel et al., 1997; Jonckheere et al., 2012). The first one was consistently found to severely compromise mitochondrial ATP production, with deficits of up to 90%. While most studies concluded this was due to a block in proton translocation, some suggested a less efficient coupling or defects in the assembly/stability of ATP synthase (Tatuch et al., 1992; Trounce et al., 1994; Houstek et al., 1995; Vazquez-Memije et al., 1998; Garcia et al., 2000; Nijtmans et al., 2001; Carrozzo et al., 2004; Mattiazzi et al., 2004; Pallotti et al., 2004; Morava et al., 2006; Sgarbi et al., 2006; Baracca et al., 2007; Cortes-Hernandez et al., 2007). Although its pathogenic character is firmly established, the second mutation has less severe consequences on ATP synthase with a 70% drop in ATP production mainly because of a less efficient assembly or diminished stability of subunit a (Vilarinho et al., 2001; Morava et al., 2006; Craig et al., 2007; Kucharczyk et al., 2009a; Aure et al., 2013). In addition to bioenergetic deficits, the two mutations lead to an enhanced production of ROS and aberrant mitochondrial morphologies that may contribute to the disease process as well.
-
Similar diseases were associated with two mutations at amino acid position 217, m.9176T>G (aL217R), and m.9176T>C (aL217P). The first one is extremely detrimental with a block in subunit a assembly that leads to extreme clinical phenotypes when highly abundant in cells and tissues. The second one does not obviously compromise assembly of subunit a indicating that it affects the functioning of ATP synthase.
-
The m.9185T>C (aL220P) mutation was identified in individuals presenting with MILS, MNS, periodic paralyzes, spinocerebellar ataxia syndromes (SCA) or CMT (Castagna et al., 2007; Childs et al., 2007). Biochemical analyses revealed a substantial drop (50–90%) in ATP production, and study in yeast indicated that this mutation compromises the functioning of ATP synthase (Kabala et al., 2014).
Other, less frequent, mutations in subunit a
-
Eight additional mutations in subunit a [m.8597T>C (aI24T), m.8618insT, m.8839G>C (aA105P), m.8989G>C (aA155P), m.9025G>A (aG167S), m.9032T>C (aL169P), m.9127delAT (aI201PfsX2) and m.9191T>C (aL222P)] were identified in patients presenting with NARP or MILS disease. Although they were thus far found only in a limited number of individuals, biochemical investigations indicated that they have detrimental consequences for ATP synthase. For instance, the m.9191T>C was shown to dramatically affect incorporation of subunit a in the yeast enzyme (Kabala et al., 2014). These mutations are thus most likely pathogenic.
-
The m.8969G>A (aS148N) mutation was found in a patient presenting with MLASA (Burrage et al., 2014) and a 14-year-old Chinese girl diagnosed with a severe nephropathy (Wen et al., 2016). Biochemical investigations in yeast and human cells revealed a block in the transfer of protons through the Fo.
-
The m.8851T>C (aW109R) and m.8890A>G (aK122E) mutations were identified in patients presenting with FBSN and MS (De Meirleir et al., 1995; Honzik et al., 2013; Ye et al., 2013). Studies with yeast revealed that m.8851T>C leads to major drops (95%) in mitochondrial ATP synthesis owing to a block in Fo-mediated proton transfer (Kucharczyk et al., 2013). The m.9134A>G (aE203G) was identified in patient suffering from MS accompanied with cardiomyopathy (Honzik et al., 2012).
-
The m.9035T>C (aL170P) was identified at high (>90%) mutation load in 21 ataxia patients (Sikorska et al., 2009; Pfeffer et al., 2012). Cybrids carrying this mutation had reduced ATP levels (40–50% vs. controls) and produced 5–7 times more ROS than control cells. Another mutation m.8611insC (aL29PfsX36) was found in patient presenting ataxia with encephalomyopathy (Jackson et al., 2017).
-
Ten mutations [m.8668T>C (aW48R), m.8684C>T (aT53I), m.8697G>A (aM57I), m.8836A>G (aM104V), m.8950G>A (aV142I), m.9011C>T (aA162V), m.9016A>G (aI164V), m.9029A>G (aH168R), m.9101T>C (aI192T), and m.9139G>A (aA205T)] were identified in patients presenting with LHON, a disease caused by defects in the retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve that lead to blindness. Two of them (m.9029A>G and m.9101T>C) were shown to compromise oxidative phosphorylation by a yet-unknown mechanism (Lamminen et al., 1995; Lopez-Gallardo et al., 2014).
-
The m.8932C>T (aP136S) and m.8527A>G (aM1V) were identified in children with neuromuscular disorders (Felhi et al., 2016). The first one was also identified in prostatic cancer cells (Petros et al., 2005). In a yeast model of this mutation, ATP synthase assembly/stability was found substantially affected (Niedzwiecka et al., 2016).
-
The m.9205delTA (aSTOP elimination) mutation was identified in patients with a severe encephalopathy leading to premature death. Since the stop codon of ATP6 overlaps with the start codon of COX3, the expression of both genes is compromised, which results in a lower content in complex IV and ATP synthase (Jesina et al., 2004; Hejzlarova et al., 2015).
-
The m.8719G>A (aG65STOP) and m.9058A>G (aT178A) mutations were identified in patients presenting with LVHT (Tang et al., 2010, 2013). Their biochemical consequences are still unknown.
-
Ten mutations [m.8701A>G (aT59A), m.8723G>A (aR66Q), m.8794C>T (aH90Y), m.8843T>C (aI106T), m.8902G>A (aA126T), m.8945T>C (aM140T), m.9055G>A (aI177T), m.9071C>T (aS182L), m.9094C>T (aL190F), and m.9160T>C (aY212H)] were found in patients with autism or schizophrenia. Their consequences on ATP synthase has not yet been investigated.
It is puzzling that mutations that cluster in specific regions of ATP6 or ATP8 give rise to such a wide variety of clinical symptoms (Table 1). These phenotypic differences may be due to other unknown genetic variations in patients within mitochondrial or nuclear DNA that could exacerbate or attenuate the consequences on health of defects in ATP synthase subunits. Another important source of variability in the clinical outcome likely resides in the levels of heteroplasmy and different distributions of mtDNA mutations in cells and tissues. Furthermore, in addition to a lack of ATP, defects in ATP synthase may have multiple secondary effects, such as increased production of ROS and changes in upstream metabolic processes (Korshunov et al., 1997) that together will influence the disease process unpredictably.
Topology within the Fo of mutations in subunits a and 8
To define the topology of the ATP6 and ATP8 mutations identified in patients, we used the recently published structures of Y. lipolytica and S. cerevisiae ATP synthases (Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017); the complete model of subunits a, 8, and the c-ring is shown in Figure 4. The amino acid alignments in Figure 3 establish the correspondences with human subunits a and 8 amino acids.
Figure 4
Positions of human neurodegenerative disease-causing mutations in the structure of the yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase subunits a and 8 (human A6L). The views are from the matrix (A,B) and from the IMS (C,D) with detailed views in the IMS entry channel (B) and in the matrix exit channel (D). On (E,F), showing views along the membrane plane from outside the Fo stator and from the c-ring, respectively, the membrane borders are indicated as black lines. Subunits a, 8, and c are shown in blue, green, and yellow, respectively. The model is based on structural data from the Y. lipolytica and S. cerevisiae structures (Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017). The positions of mutations, which have been found in human neurodegenerative diseases, are marked in white, red, blue, pink, orange and black for hydrophobic, negatively and positively charged, uncharged polar, proline and special residues, respectively. The mutations are labeled according to their positions in human subunit a listed in Table 2. The arrows indicate the path of protons in ATP synthesis direction. The conserved arginine (h.s. aR159, S.c. aR186) on helix aH5 is indicated by stick model; its orientation is randomly chosen. The figure was drawn with UCSF ChimeraX (Goddard et al., 2017).
Subunit a mutations
Helix 5 of subunit a (aH5) is kinked due to the presence of proline at position 153, a residue well-known for its propensity to bend or break alpha helices owing to its inability to participate fully in protein backbone hydrogen bonding. aP153 enables aH5 to follow the curvature of the c-ring and seal the two hydrophilic pockets that connect the a/c-ring interface to the intermembrane and matrix spaces. Five substitutions from hydrophobic alanine or leucine residues into proline are located on aH5 (aH5) in proximity to the essential aR159 residue (aA105P, aA155P and aL156P) that faces the proton binding glutamate of the c-ring, or close to aH168/aE203 in the proton entry channel (aL169P, aL170P). These mutations may distort or break aH5. Those at positions 155 and 156 at one helix turn from aR159 may compromise the ion translocation mechanism, for example by ion short circuiting (Mitome et al., 2010) or by preventing aR159 to interact with the c-ring glutamate due to its structurally shifted position. On aH6, the aL217P, aL220P, and aL222P mutations are on the edge of the exit channel close to the matrix. Their severe functional consequences possibly result from a change in the topology of the nearby aD224 residue that was suggested to be of critical importance for the exit of protons toward the mitochondrial matrix (Guo et al., 2017). Similarly, the aP136S change in the loop connecting aH4 and aH5 possibly alters the accessibility of protons in this region of subunit a.
The extremely detrimental consequences of aL217R on ATP synthase assembly/stability (Kucharczyk et al., 2009b) possibly results from the inability of subunit a to pack tightly owing to replacement of a hydrophobic residue with a bulkier and positively charged one within the membrane. The absence of proton conduction induced by the aL156R mutation at the a/c-ring interface (Rak et al., 2007), without any defect in ATP synthase assembly, may be caused by the inability of protons to exit from the ring or by electrostatic or steric hindrance that prevent rotation of the ring. Being located near the N-terminal side of aH5, the block in proton translocation induced by the aS148N mutation (Wen et al., 2016) possibly results from obstruction of the proton exit pore. The detrimental consequences of aH168R (Lopez-Gallardo et al., 2014) are not surprising considering its location in the p-side cleft in the proximity of the c-ring. This positive charge cuts off the connection of the p-side to the c-ring. A similar effect on the n-side of the membrane may result from the aW109R, where aH5 and aH6 diverge. A mutation at this position has an impact in proton translocation without impacting ATP synthase assembly/stability (Kucharczyk et al., 2013), indicating that this location of subunit a is close to the pathway along which protons are evacuated into the matrix. The clinical consequences of aK122E probably also result from a less efficient proton conduction toward the matrix.
While aM140T, aG167S, aA177T, aI192T, aA205T, and aY212H decrease the hydrophobicity of the a/c-ring interface, it is less obvious from our structural model to predict the consequences of other mutations that replace hydrophobic to non-charged hydrophilic residues (aI24T, aI106T, aA126T) or vice-versa (aT53I, aT59A, aT178A, aS182L) and those that lead to small hydrophobicity changes (aM57I, aM104V, aV142I, aA162V, aI164V, aL190F). However, meaningfully, most are within helices aH4-6 that are important for the movement of protons through Fo.
Subunit 8 mutations
The yeast subunit 8 has an overall kinked helical structure with a N-terminal transmembrane helix (8H1) and a short helix (8H2) exposed to the matrix. 8H1 is flanked by subunit i and aH1 (Hahn et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017). At the distal stator side, 8H1 is exposed toward the dimer interface in a bent lipid bilayer region. At the base of the peripheral stalk, the C-terminus of 8H2 is nestled inside the helical domain composed by subunits b, d and f. In vertebrates, no secondary structures are predicted in the C-terminal half of subunit 8 and subunit f displays only 18% identity with its yeast homolog, which explains why they could not be modeled from the bovine ATP synthase cryo-EM density map (Zhou et al., 2015). Subunit 8 shows at its N-terminus a conserved 4 amino acid motif (MPQL, Figure 3). This motif and 8H1 share significant homologies with one of the two subunits b (isoform b′ or b2) from α-proteobacteria (Figure 3A), indicating that subunit 8 (A6L) is an evolutionary vestige of bacterial subunit b that remained mtDNA encoded (Hahn et al., 2016). Subunit 8 stabilizes in the membrane the helical N-terminal half of subunit a (Hahn et al., 2016). Four of the mutations identified in patients (8T6A, 8P10S, 8I13T, 8M16V) cluster at the N-terminal region of helix 8H1 in proximity to aH4, suggesting that they may affect the stability of subunits a and 8 (Hahn et al., 2016). The six other mutations identified in patients (8Y33C, 8P36L, 8P39L, 8N46I, 8K49E, 8E52K) are in the matrix-exposed helix 8H2. These mutations might affect the flexibility of the outer stalk, and thereby compromise the stability of Fo and/or, indirectly, the ion translocation mechanism or ATP synthase assembly process. This hypothesis is supported by the reduced functionality and stability of ATP synthase in these patients and by various studies on subunit b in the bacterial enzyme (Schneider and Altendorf, 1984, 1985; Wehrle et al., 2002; Greie et al., 2004).
ATP synthase dimers and mitochondrial morphology
The mitochondrial ATP synthase exists as dimers (Schagger and Pfeiffer, 2000; Paumard et al., 2002) that associate into rows that contribute to cristae formation (Davies et al., 2011; Hahn et al., 2016). The mutations in subunits 8 and a often correlate with pathological forms of mitochondria cristae as for example seen in the Leigh syndrome (Kucharczyk et al., 2009b). The defects caused by these mutations therefore not only affect the ATP synthase function but they can also affect the assembly process. The reduced amount, or lack thereof, of native and completely assembled ATP synthase dimers would certainly affect cristae formation, which is crucial for the accommodation of the OXPHOS respiratory chain complexes and the ATP synthase. This explains some of the pathologic forms of mitochondria found in the diseases and syndromes described in this review.
Conclusions
Diseases associated to mutations in the mitochondrial ATP6 and ATP8 genes are particularly challenging to study due to factors like heteroplasmy, complex inheritance, variable penetrance, and interactions with (e.g., nuclear) modifier genes, which makes it difficult to verify their pathogenicity. The possibility to create and keep alive homoplasmic strains of S. cerevisiae with defined mtDNA mutations in a controlled nuclear genetic background makes it possible to study their functional consequences. With the recently obtained cryo-EM structures of F1Fo ATP synthase from various mitochondrial origins it has become feasible to map mutations in ATP6 and ATP8 at the molecular level within the Fo. These “open eyes” provide the chance for a completely new level of understanding of how the mutations may affect ATP synthase structure, assembly, and mechanism. This knowledge also enables to evaluate the observed pathogenic forms of mitochondrial morphology that are associated with these syndromes on the structural level, from the mutation at the molecular level to its associated consequences at the macroscopic scale of the organelle. The recent technical advances enabling the structural analysis of macromolecular complexes by cryo-EM (Kühlbrandt, 2014), the advent of complete structures of ATP synthases (Allegretti et al., 2015; Morales-Rios et al., 2015b; Zhou et al., 2015; Hahn et al., 2016; Sobti et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2017) and the availability of genetically approachable systems like S. cerevisiae are just the first steps in these new shoes; they will considerably improve the comprehension of human diseases associated to defects in this key mitochondrial enzyme. We are still at the beginning of understanding these complex processes.
