Overview of Gene Research
CCDC51, also called MITOK, encodes a mitochondrial coiled-coil domain-containing protein. It is involved in mitochondrial fission dynamics and inner membrane organization, and is crucial for maintaining normal mitochondrial dynamics and organelle homeostasis [2,3]. Mitochondrial proteins like CCDC51 are of great biological importance as mitochondria play key roles in energy production and cell survival. Genetic models are valuable for studying its functions.
In a patient from a consanguineous family with a relatively mild rod-cone dystrophy, a homozygous frameshift variant in CCDC51 was identified, suggesting its potential role in non-syndromic inherited retinal disorders [1]. Knockdown of CCDC51 in human cells led to reduced rates of mitochondrial fission, and overexpression promoted its association with Drp1 and induced mitochondrial fragmentation, indicating it is a positive effector of mitochondrial fission [3].
In conclusion, CCDC51 is an important mitochondrial protein involved in mitochondrial fission. Its study through genetic models has provided insights into its role in non-syndromic inherited retinal disorders, highlighting its significance in understanding the mechanisms of such diseases.
