Abstract
Alterations in ATP metabolism have been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of cystinosis, the most common form of inherited Fanconi syndrome. A recent study showed normal activity of respiratory chain complexes I-IV with decreased ATP levels in cystinotic fibroblasts. Here, we show normal complex V expression and activity in mitochondria of cystinotic fibroblasts. This indicates that alterations in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation enzymes are not responsible for ATP decrease in cystinotic fibroblasts.
