An Analysis of Enzyme Kinetics Data for Mitochondrial DNA Strand Termination by Nucleoside Reverse Transcription Inhibitors
2009
PLoS Computational Biology
The model predicts an approximately 1000-fold difference in the activated drug concentration required for a 50% probability of mtDNA strand termination between the activated di-deoxy analogs d4T, ddC, ...
Therefore AZT mitochondrial toxicity is likely due to a mechanism that does not involve strand termination of mtDNA replication. ...
We tested that idea by analyzing data for the interaction of several AIDS drugs with the mitochondrial DNA polymerase, the protein responsible for copying mitochondrial DNA. ...

Enzyme Kinetics of the Mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleoside Salvage Pathway Are Not Sufficient to Support Rapid mtDNA Replication
2011
PLoS Computational Biology
We find that an external source of deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates or triphosphates (dNTPs), in addition to those supplied by mitochondrial salvage, is essential for the replication of mitochondrial DNA ...
Our analysis of the enzyme kinetics also revealed that the majority of enzymes of this pathway prefer substrates that are not precursors (canonical deoxyribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleotides) for mitochondrial ...
For the knockin mouse [62] , a compensatory mechanism involving increased mtDNA transcription through suppression of MTERF3 (mitochondrial transcription termination factor 3) expression was implicated ...

Differential Incorporation and Removal of Antiviral Deoxynucleotides by Human DNA Polymerase γ
2001
Journal of Biological Chemistry
We evaluated the ability of such analogs to inhibit DNA synthesis by the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol ␥) by comparing the insertion and exonucleolytic removal of six antiviral nucleotide analogs ...
Dideoxynucleotides and D4T-TP were utilized by pol ␥ in vitro as efficiently as natural deoxynucleotides, whereas AZT-TP, 3TC-TP, and CBV-TP were only moderate inhibitors of DNA chain elongation. ...
Acknowledgments-We thank Susan Danehower (GlaxoWellcome) for 3TC-TP and CBV-TP. We thank Dr. K. Bebenek (NIEHS, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC) for purified HIV-RT enzyme. ...
