Primary coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency is due to mutations in genes involved in CoQ biosynthesis. The disease has been associated with five major phenotypes, but a genotype-phenotype correlation is unclear [1]. Here, we compare two mouse models with a genetic modification in Coq9 gene (Coq9Q95X and Coq9R239X). The comparison was done by biochemical, molecular, genetics, histopathological and phenotypic analyses. Coq9R239X mice manifest severe widespread CoQ deficiency associated with fatal encephalomyopathy [2]. In contrast, Coq9Q95X mice exhibit mild CoQ deficiency manifesting with reduction in CI&III activity and mitochondrial respiration in skeletal muscle, and late-onset mild mitochondrial myopathy. We show that these differences are due to the levels of COQ biosynthetic proteins, suggesting that the presence of a truncated version of COQ9 protein in Coq9R239X mice destabilizes the CoQ multiprotein complex [3]. Our study points out the importance of the multiprotein complex for CoQ biosynthesis in mammals, which may provide new insights to understand the genotype-phenotype heterogeneity associated with human CoQ deficiency and may have a potential impact on the treatment of this mitochondrial disorder.
