ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Post-transcriptional taurine modification at the first anticodon ("wobble") nucleotide is deficient in A3243G-mutant mitochondrial (mt) tRNA(Leu(UUR)) of patients with myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)."7.78Taurine ameliorates impaired the mitochondrial function and prevents stroke-like episodes in patients with MELAS. ( Ichimiya, H; Kamimura, N; Nishimaki, K; Nishimatsu, S; Ohsawa, Y; Ohta, S; Rikimaru, M; Sunada, Y; Wolf, AM, 2012)
"Taurine serves as a substrate in the formation of 5-taurinomethyluridine-tRNA(Leu(UUR)); therefore, taurine deficiency should mimic 5-taurinomethyluridine-tRNA(Leu(UUR)) deficiency."6.49Taurine deficiency and MELAS are closely related syndromes. ( Azuma, J; Ito, T; Jong, CJ; Schaffer, SW; Warner, D, 2013)
"In MELAS, taurine modification defect in the anticodon of mitochondrial leucine tRNA causes codon translation failure."4.31[Therapeutics for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy]. ( Sunada, Y, 2023)
"Post-transcriptional taurine modification at the first anticodon ("wobble") nucleotide is deficient in A3243G-mutant mitochondrial (mt) tRNA(Leu(UUR)) of patients with myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)."3.78Taurine ameliorates impaired the mitochondrial function and prevents stroke-like episodes in patients with MELAS. ( Ichimiya, H; Kamimura, N; Nishimaki, K; Nishimatsu, S; Ohsawa, Y; Ohta, S; Rikimaru, M; Sunada, Y; Wolf, AM, 2012)
" We report here that mitochondrial tRNAs(Leu(UUR)) harboring one of five mutations found in tissues from patients with symptoms of mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) (A3243G, G3244A, T3258C, T3271C, and T3291C) lacked the normal taurine-containing modification (5-taurinomethyluridine) at the anticodon wobble position."3.73Specific correlation between the wobble modification deficiency in mutant tRNAs and the clinical features of a human mitochondrial disease. ( Arenas, J; Campos, Y; Goto, Y; Kirino, Y; Suzuki, T, 2005)
"Taurine serves as a substrate in the formation of 5-taurinomethyluridine-tRNA(Leu(UUR)); therefore, taurine deficiency should mimic 5-taurinomethyluridine-tRNA(Leu(UUR)) deficiency."2.49Taurine deficiency and MELAS are closely related syndromes.
