Abstract	Seven of the approximately 40 subunits of the mammalian respiratory NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) are encoded in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Their function is almost completely unknown. In this work, a novel selection scheme has led to the isolation of a mouse A9 cell derivative defective in NADH dehydrogenase activity. This cell line carries a near-homoplasmic frameshift mutation in the mtDNA gene for the ND6 subunit resulting in an almost complete absence of this polypeptide, while lacking any mutation in the other mtDNA-encoded subunits of the enzyme complex. Both the functional defect and the mutation were transferred with the mutant mitochondria into mtDNA-less (rho0) mouse LL/2-m21 cells, pointing to the pure mitochondrial genetic origin of the defect. A detailed biosynthetic and functional analysis of the original mutant and of the rho0 cell transformants revealed that the mutation causes a loss of assembly of the mtDNA-encoded subunits of the enzyme and, correspondingly, a reduction in malate/glutamate-dependent respiration in digitonin-permeabilized cells by approximately 90% and a decrease in NADH:Q1 oxidoreductase activity in mitochondrial extracts by approximately 99%. Furthermore, the ND6(-) cells, in contrast to the parental cells, completely fail to grow in a medium containing galactose instead of glucose, indicating a serious impairment in oxidative phosphorylation function. These observations provide the first evidence of the essential role of the ND6 subunit in the respiratory function of Complex I and give some insights into the pathogenic mechanism of the known disease-causing ND6 gene mutations.
