Fig. 1From: DNA repair deficiency in neuropathogenesis: when all roads lead to mitochondriaa Schematic representation of the functional domains of PNKP. We reported five unrelated patients with CMT2 disease, who were compound heterozygotes for the p.Thr408del (exon 14) and p.Gln517ter * (exon 17) variants [2]. Homozygous individuals for the p.Thr408del variant present Ataxia-ocular motor apraxia 4 (AOA4) [3]. b Enzymatic role of PNKP. The enzyme catalyzes the 3′-phosphate termini dephosphorylation and the phosphorylation of 5′-OH terminal by using ATP as the phosphate donor. Mitochondrial-targeting signal (MTS) is a necessary region for PNKP translocation to mitochondria. FHA: Fork-head-associated domainBack to article page
