Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (MEs) result from mutations in mitochondrial genes critical to oxidative phosphorylation. Severe and untreatable ME results from mutations affecting each endogenous mitochondrial encoded gene, including all 13 established protein coding genes. Effective techniques to manipulate mitochondrial genome are limited and targeted mitochondrial protein expression is currently unavailable. Here we report the development of amitochondrial-targeted RNA expression(mtTRES) vector capable of protein expression within mitochondria (mtTRESPro). We demonstrate thatmtTRESProexpressed RNAs are targeted to mitochondria and are capable of being translated using EGFP encoded constructsin vivo. We additionally testmtTRESProconstructs encoding wild type ATP6 for their ability to rescue an establishedATP61Drosophilamodel of ME. Genetic rescue is examined including tests with co-expression of mitochondrial targeted translational inhibitorsTLI-NCL::ATP6RNAs that function to reduce expression of the endogenous mutant protein. The data demonstrate allotopic RNA expression of mitochondrial targeted wild typeATP6coding RNAs are sufficient to partially rescue a severe and established animal model of ME but only when combined with a method to inhibit mutant protein expression, which likely competes for incorporation into complex V.
