Abstract

See full text

A synthetic, nuclear-encoded ND4 gene was linked to a mitochondrial targeting sequence and a FLAG epitope tag. This fusion construct was inserted into a rAAV vector. The ND4 fusion protein was expressed and imported into the mitochondria of cells harboring a mitochondrial DNA mutation (G11778A), where it restored cellular respiration.
