Summary: This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric enzyme succinate coenzyme A ligase. This enzyme is targeted to the mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of succinyl CoA and ADP or GDP to succinate and ATP or GTP. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the metabolic disorder fatal infantile lactic acidosis and mitochondrial DNA depletion. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

SUCLG1 restricts POLRMT succinylation to enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and leukemia progression.
Title: SUCLG1 restricts POLRMT succinylation to enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and leukemia progression.
We report two Tunisian patients belonging to a consanguineous family with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Mutational analysis of SUCLG1 gene showed the presence of c.41T > C in exon 1 in a homozygous state. This mutation substitutes a conserved methionine residue to a threonine at position 14 (p.M14T) located at the SUCLG1 protein mitochondrial targeting sequence.

These abnormal phenotypes are rescued upon ectopic expression of wild-type SUCLG1 in the patient's fibroblasts, thus functionally confirming the pathogenic nature of the SUCLG1 VUS identified in this patient and expanding the phenotypic spectrum for SUCLG1 deficiency

Long survival, to age 20 years or older, was reported in 12% of SUCLA2 and in 10% of SUCLG1 patients.

Title: Five novel SUCLG1 mutations in three Chinese patients with succinate-CoA ligase deficiency noticed by mild methylmalonic aciduria.
3 novel mutations have been identified in patients with the mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (c.1048G>A and c.1049G>T in SUCLA2 and c.531+4A>T in SUCLG1).
Title: Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome: new descriptions and the use of citrate synthase as a helpful tool to better characterise the patients.
Our results suggest that SUCLG1 mutations that lead to complete absence of SUCLG1 protein are responsible for a very severe disorder with antenatal manifestations, whereas a SUCLA2-like phenotype is found in patients with residual SUCLG1 protein.
Title: The severity of phenotype linked to SUCLG1 mutations could be correlated with residual amount of SUCLG1 protein.

Title: Genetic variants in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes influence AIDS progression.
This report enlarges the phenotypic spectrum of SUCLG1 mutations and confirms that a characteristic metabolic profile (presence of MMA and C4-DC carnitine in urines) and basal ganglia MRI lesions are the hallmarks of SCS defects.
Title: New SUCLG1 patients expanding the phenotypic spectrum of this rare cause of mild methylmalonic aciduria.
A novel mutation in the SUCLG1 gene was found in two newborns having lethal lactic acidosis, multi-organ failure and congenital malformations including interrupted aortic arch.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
