mtDNA extramitochondrial replication mediates mitochondrial defect effects

Summary: A high ratio of severe mitochondrial defects causes multiple human mitochondrial diseases. However, until now, the in vivo rescue signal of such mitochondrial defect effects has not been clear. Here, we built fly mitochondrial defect models by knocking down the essential mitochondrial genes...

description Summary: A high ratio of severe mitochondrial defects causes multiple human mitochondrial diseases. However, until now, the in vivo rescue signal of such mitochondrial defect effects has not been clear. Here, we built fly mitochondrial defect models by knocking down the essential mitochondrial genes dMterf4 and dMrps23. Following genome-wide RNAi screens, we found that knockdown of Med8/Tfb4/mtSSB/PolG2/mtDNA-helicase rescued dMterf4/dMrps23 RNAi-mediated mitochondrial defect effects. Extremely surprisingly, they drove mtDNA replication outside mitochondria through the Med8/Tfb4-mtSSB/PolG2/mtDNA-helicase axis to amplify cytosolic mtDNA, leading to activation of the cGAS-Sting-like IMD pathway to partially mediate dMterf4/dMrps23 RNAi-triggered effects. Moreover, we found that the Med8/Tfb4-mtSSB/PolG2/mtDNA-helicase axis also mediated other fly mitochondrial gene defect-triggered dysfunctions and Drosophila aging. Overall, our study demarcates the Med8/Tfb4-mtSSB/PolG2/mtDNA-helicase axis as a candidate mechanism to mediate mitochondrial defect effects through driving mtDNA extramitochondrial replication; dysfunction of this axis might be used for potential treatments for many mitochondrial and age-related diseases.
