While performing a FACS-based retroviral-mediated gene trap mutagenesis screen in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells for abnormal mitochondrial phenotypes, a gene trap allele of Sucla2 (Sucla2SA\u03b2geo) has been isolated in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and used to generate transgenic animals. Sucla2 encodes the ADP-specific \u03b2 subunit isoform of SCS. Sucla2SA\u03b2geo homozygotes exhibit recessive lethality, with most mutants dying late in gestation (e18.5). Mutant placenta and embryonic (e17.5) brain, heart and muscle show varying degrees of mtDNA depletion (20-60%), while there is no mtDNA depletion in mutant liver, where the gene is not normally expressed. Elevated levels of MMA are observed in embryonic brain. SCS deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) demonstrate a 50% reduction in mtDNA content compared to wild type MEFs. The mtDNA depletion results in reduced steady state levels of mtDNA encoded proteins and multiple respiratory chain deficiencies, while mtDNA content can be restored by reintroduction of Sucla2. This mouse model of SCS deficiency and mtDNA depletion promises to provide insights into the pathogenesis of mitochondrial diseases with mtDNA depletion and into the biology of mtDNA maintenance. In addition, this report demonstrates the power of a genetic screen that combines gene trap mutagenesis and FACS analysis in mouse ES cells to identify mitochondrial phenotypes and to develop animal models of mitochondrial dysfunction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/dmm.013466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,21]],"date-time":"2013-11-21T22:04:17Z","timestamp":1385071457000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Screen for abnormal mitochondrial phenotypes in mouse ES cells identifies model for Succinyl-CoA Ligase deficiency and mtDNA depletion"],"prefix":"10.1242","author":[{"given":"Taraka R.","family":"Donti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Stromberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charit\u00e9 Hospital Cyberknife Center, Campus Virchow Clinic, Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen W.","family":"Eldin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William J.","family":"Craigen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brett H.","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021042501371758600_b1-0070271","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2433","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddn143","article-title":"Thymidine kinase 2 (H126N) knockin mice show the essential role of balanced deoxynucleotide pools for mitochondrial DNA maintenance","volume":"17","author":"Akman","year":"2008","journal-title":"Hum.
