Homozygous mutant mice (Tk2 -/-) were obtained at the expected mendelian frequency and appeared normal at birth. However, at postnatal day 10, they showed several defects relative to wildtype and heterozygous mutant littermates, including growth retardation, reduced spontaneous activity, generalized coarse tremor, and impaired gait. They rapidly developed weakness, leading to severe stress or death by 2 weeks of age. Tk2 -/- animals showed reduced Tk2 activity in all tissues analyzed, with activity reduced to 1.7% of wildtype in brain, the most severely affected tissue. In Tk2 -/- mice, brain mitochondria had a dTTP concentration about 20% of wildtype, and liver mitochondria showed reduced levels of both dTTP and dCTP. The content of other dNTPs in these tissues was unchanged, and dNTP levels in other tissues were not affected. Depletion of mtDNA was most prominent in brain, where it was 12.5% of wildtype, and only brain showed decreased activities of respiratory chain enzymes, primarily complexes I and IV, and reduced ATP levels and ATP/ADP ratios.

The treated mutant mice had delayed disease onset and longer lifespan compared to untreated mutant mice. When the mice were treated with sequential AAV dosing, a dose of AAV9-TK2 on postnatal day 1 and then a dose of AAV2-TK2 on day 29, vector induction was not increased in the kidneys and vector genomes per nucleus were decreased in the brain and muscle compared to the mice treated with only AAV9-TK2. However, survival of the AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 treated mice was significantly increased compared to the AAV9-TK2 treated and untreated mutant mice. Growth curves, motor function, and strength were similar in the AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 treated mice and the AAV9-TK2 treated mice, and neither treatment cohort developed head tremors. The mutant mice were also treated with sequential AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 dosing and with oral dC and dT from postnatal day 21 and had improved growth, survival, and mtDNA copy number in liver and kidneys compared to the other treatment cohorts of mutant mice. <a href="#6" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Lopez-Gomez, C., Sanchez-Quintero, M.

After sudden onset of respiratory arrest triggered by pneumonia, he had rapid worsening of the muscle weakness and became wheelchair-bound. He had severe axial and proximal muscle weakness, facial weakness without ptosis, pectoral atrophy, scapular winging, and ankle contractures. He also had significant gynecomastia of unclear etiology. Laboratory studies showed increased serum creatine kinase and normal serum lactate. Muscle samples showed dystrophic features, endomysial fibrosis, abnormally shaped mitochondria, decreased mitochondrial complex I activity (35% of normal), and multiple mtDNA deletions (45% residual mtDNA). Family history revealed a 3-year-old sister who died of respiratory failure due to muscular dystrophy as well as 2 infant deaths in previous generations.

The mutations, which were found by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, were filtered against the dbSNP (build 130) and 1000 Genomes Project databases. The R225W mutation was not found in 400 Finnish control chromosomes, but the T230A mutation was found in 1 of 400 Finnish control chromosomes. Parental DNA was not available for segregation analysis. The mutated residues, while located within a highly conserved sequence block, are not themselves fully conserved, even among vertebrates. In vitro functional expression studies in E. coli showed that both mutant enzymes had higher Km and lower Vmax values compared to wildtype, resulting in decreased catalytic efficiencies (17-22% for T230A and 3-4% for R225W). Mitochondria isolated from both patients' cells showed TK2-specific activity between 22 and 54% of controls. <a href="#14" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Tyynismaa, H., Sun, R., Ahola-Erkkila, S., Almusa, H., Poyhonen, R., Korpela, M., Honkaniemi, J., Isohanni, P., Paetau, A., Wang, L., Suomalainen, A. &lt;strong&gt;Thymidine kinase 2 mutations in autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions.&lt;/strong&gt; Hum.

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Johansson and Karlsson (1997) cloned cDNAs encoding human TK2. The gene encodes a 234-amino acid polypeptide. Although TK2 is believed to reside in mitochondria, it contains no mitochondrial translocation signal sequence. Northern blot analysis revealed that TK2 was ubiquitously expressed as 2 transcripts of 2.4 and 4 kb. Expression of the TK2 cDNA resulted in a 60-kD protein. </p><p>Based on the partial protein sequence of human TK2, Wang et al. (1999) isolated a human brain TK2 cDNA. Wang et al. (1999) noted that although the cDNA they isolated corresponds to the full-length mature protein, it is likely to be incomplete because it lacks the coding region for a mitochondrial target presequence. They reported that the predicted protein sequence matched that of purified TK2, but differed at the N terminus and at amino acid 28 from the TK2 sequence deduced by Johansson and Karlsson (1997). TK2 shares approximately 40% identity with deoxycytidine kinase (125450) and deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK; 601465) on the amino acid level. Northern blot analysis indicated that the TK2 gene was expressed as multiple transcripts, some of which show a tissue-specific pattern. The highest levels of expression were observed in testis and ovary. </p><p>By screening a human genomic BAC library with the TK2 cDNA reported by Wang et al. (1999), followed by database analysis, Wang et al. (2003) obtained a full-length TK2 cDNA. The deduced protein contains 265 amino acids and has an N-terminal mitochondrial leader sequence. </p><p>Sato et al. (2009) identified a number of TK2 splice variants that initiated in exons 8 or 9 and included further upstream exons. RT-PCR detected variable expression of TK2 upstream exons in a wide variety of tissues. </p><p>Gross (2009) noted that a revised sequence for TK2 (GenBank NP_004605.3) indicates that the full-length TK2 protein contains 307 amino acids. Behin et al. (2012) noted that the TK2 sequence had been revised again (GenBank NP_004605.4) and that the full-length 265-amino acid TK2 protein lacks 42 N-terminal amino acids found in the earlier sequence (GenBank NP_004605.3). </p>

<p><strong><em>Autosomal Recessive Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome 2</em></strong></p><p>
In 4 individuals with autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-2 (MTDPS2; 609560), manifest as onset in infancy of severe myopathy, Saada et al. (2001) identified 2 mutations in the TK2 gene (188250.0001-188250.0002). In these individuals, the activity of TK2 in muscle mitochondria was reduced to 14 to 45% of the mean value in healthy control individuals. Mandel et al. (2001) identified mutations in the DGUOK gene in another form of mtDNA depletion syndrome, the hepatocerebral form (MTDPS3; 251880). They noted that the main supply of deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) for mtDNA synthesis comes from the salvage pathway initiated by DGUOK and TK2. The association of mtDNA depletion with mutations in the genes encoding these 2 kinases suggested that the salvage pathway enzymes are involved in the maintenance of balanced mitochondrial dNTP pools. </p><p>Behin et al. (2012) identified homozygous or compound heterozygous TK2 mutations (188250.0003, 188250.0005, and 188250.0006) in 3 unrelated adult patients with a slowly progressive form of MTDPS2. All patients reported some form of hypotonia, early fatigue, or delayed walking in early childhood and 2 had proximal muscle weakness in childhood. Although muscle biopsies showed mtDNA depletion, there was higher residual mtDNA (about 30% of controls) compared to patients with a more severe form of the disorder (about 11% of controls). However, there were no apparent genotype/phenotype correlations. </p><p><strong><em>Autosomal Recessive Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia with Mitochondrial DNA Deletions 3</em></strong></p><p>
By exome sequencing, Tyynismaa et al. (2012) identified compound heterozygous missense mutations in the TK2 gene (188250.0007 and 188250.0008) in 2 Finnish sisters with adult-onset autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions-3 (PEOB3; 617069). Tyynismaa et al. (2012) suggested that the higher residual activity of the mutants corresponded to the later onset and milder phenotypes in these patients compared to those with MTDPS2. </p>

<p>Akman et al. (2008) created mice harboring a his126-to-asn (H126N) mutation in the Tk2 gene. The orthologous mutation in humans (H163N; see 188250.0001) causes an early muscle-specific form of mtDNA depletion syndrome. Homozygous mutant mice (Tk2 -/-) were obtained at the expected mendelian frequency and appeared normal at birth. However, at postnatal day 10, they showed several defects relative to wildtype and heterozygous mutant littermates, including growth retardation, reduced spontaneous activity, generalized coarse tremor, and impaired gait. They rapidly developed weakness, leading to severe stress or death by 2 weeks of age. Tk2 -/- animals showed reduced Tk2 activity in all tissues analyzed, with activity reduced to 1.7% of wildtype in brain, the most severely affected tissue. In Tk2 -/- mice, brain mitochondria had a dTTP concentration about 20% of wildtype, and liver mitochondria showed reduced levels of both dTTP and dCTP. The content of other dNTPs in these tissues was unchanged, and dNTP levels in other tissues were not affected. Depletion of mtDNA was most prominent in brain, where it was 12.5% of wildtype, and only brain showed decreased activities of respiratory chain enzymes, primarily complexes I and IV, and reduced ATP levels and ATP/ADP ratios. Spinal cord neurons had abnormal vacuolar changes, and the white matter of spinal cord and cortex showed evidence of activated glial cells. Akman et al. (2008) concluded that, in contrast to the muscle-specific phenotype observed in patients with the H121N (now H163N) mutation, mice homozygous for the H126N mutation showed a rapidly progressive encephalomyelopathy. </p><p>Bartesaghi et al. (2010) demonstrated that in vivo loss of Tk2 activity in mice led to a severe ataxic phenotype, accompanied by reduced mtDNA copy number and decreased steady-state levels of electron transport chain proteins in the brain. In Tk2-deficient cerebellar neurons, these abnormalities were associated with impaired mitochondrial bioenergetic function, aberrant mitochondrial ultrastructure, and degeneration of selected neuronal types. </p><p>Lopez-Gomez et al. (2021) evaluated the effects of AAV gene therapy with and without pyrimidine deoxynucleoside (deoxycytidine (dC) and thymidine (dT)) treatment in a mouse model of Tk2 deficiency. AAV9 delivery of TK2 cDNA (AAV9-TK2) to the mutant mice on postnatal day 1 rescued Tk2 activity in liver, brain, and muscle but not in kidneys. The treated mutant mice had delayed disease onset and longer lifespan compared to untreated mutant mice. When the mice were treated with sequential AAV dosing, a dose of AAV9-TK2 on postnatal day 1 and then a dose of AAV2-TK2 on day 29, vector induction was not increased in the kidneys and vector genomes per nucleus were decreased in the brain and muscle compared to the mice treated with only AAV9-TK2. However, survival of the AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 treated mice was significantly increased compared to the AAV9-TK2 treated and untreated mutant mice. Growth curves, motor function, and strength were similar in the AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 treated mice and the AAV9-TK2 treated mice, and neither treatment cohort developed head tremors. The mutant mice were also treated with sequential AAV9-TK2/AAV2-TK2 dosing and with oral dC and dT from postnatal day 21 and had improved growth, survival, and mtDNA copy number in liver and kidneys compared to the other treatment cohorts of mutant mice. Lopez-Gomez et al. (2021) concluded that dC and dT supplementation enhances the effects of TK2 gene therapy and supports the potential for future combination therapy in patients with TK2 deficiency. </p>

<p>Based on the revised protein sequence for TK2 (GenBank NP_004605.4), the mutation designated THR77MET (T77M) and later THR150MET (T150M) is now referred to as THR108MET (T108M) (Behin et al., 2012). </p><p>Mancuso et al. (2002) described 2 sibs with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-2 (MTDPS2; 609560) who were compound heterozygous for the previously described H90N mutation (188250.0001) and a novel thr77-to-met (THR77MET) mutation. The proband was normal until 12 months of age when he developed frequent falls and progressive gait impairment, leading to inability to walk by age 26 months. By age 2 years he was unable to stand. He became dependent on mechanical ventilation by 3 years of age and died at 40 months of age. An older sister was similarly affected but with a more slowly evolving course. At age 16 months she began to have frequent falls, limb weakness, and gait abnormality, and by age 4 years she was no longer able to walk. She had elevated serum CK levels and lactic acidosis. </p><p>In a family originally described by Tritschler et al. (1992) in which 3 sibs had mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-2, Mancuso et al. (2003) identified homozygosity for the THR77MET mutation. The patients had 80 to 90% mitochondrial DNA depletion in muscle biopsy specimens, and all died of respiratory failure by age 40 months. The mutation is near the active site, in the alpha-4 helix of the protein, which is important for enzyme dimerization and nucleoside recognition. The authors noted that exon 5 is a hotspot for TK2 mutations. </p><p>Behin et al. (2012) reported 2 unrelated patients who were homozygous for the T108M mutation but who had had a milder course and slower progression than previously associated with this mutation. One patient had hypotonia since birth, delayed early walking, and proximal muscle weakness in childhood, whereas the other showed early fatigue in childhood; both presented in their early thirties with more significant impairment. Features included waddling gait, distal and proximal muscle weakness, axial weakness, and respiratory insufficiency. One patient was wheelchair-bound and the other could not walk for more than 15 minutes. More variable features included ptosis, hypophonia, and facial weakness. Cognition, hearing, and cardiac function were normal. EMG showed a myogenic pattern, and muscle biopsies showed dystrophic changes consistent with a mitochondrial myopathy, including deficiencies of complexes I, III, and IV. Muscle mtDNA depletion was apparent, with mtDNA levels at about 30% of normal controls. This report expanded the phenotypic spectrum of MTDPS2 to include patients with much slower progression, which may have been due to better preservation of residual muscle mtDNA compared to more severely affected patients. </p><p>Paradas et al. (2013) reported a 22-year-old man, born of consanguineous parents, with MTDPS2 due to a homozygous T108M mutation. He had normal development until age 24 months, when he showed proximal muscle weakness of the lower limbs resulting in a waddling gait. At age 20, he had a nasal voice and mild proximal arm weakness. After sudden onset of respiratory arrest triggered by pneumonia, he had rapid worsening of the muscle weakness and became wheelchair-bound. He had severe axial and proximal muscle weakness, facial weakness without ptosis, pectoral atrophy, scapular winging, and ankle contractures. He also had significant gynecomastia of unclear etiology. Laboratory studies showed increased serum creatine kinase and normal serum lactate. Muscle samples showed dystrophic features, endomysial fibrosis, abnormally shaped mitochondria, decreased mitochondrial complex I activity (35% of normal), and multiple mtDNA deletions (45% residual mtDNA). Family history revealed a 3-year-old sister who died of respiratory failure due to muscular dystrophy as well as 2 infant deaths in previous generations. The report was notable for significant intrafamilial phenotypic heterogeneity. Functional studies of the T108M variant were not performed. </p>

(2002) found that mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-2 (MTDPS2; 609560) is caused by homozygosity for an ile22-to-met (ILE22MET) mutation in the TK2 gene. A brother and sister were affected. The sister had severe weakness and hypotonia from the first months of life and died at the age of 2 years. Her brother was normal until the age of 15 months, when he developed increasing lumbar lordosis and waddling gait. Arm and cervical muscles were involved later. By the age of 2 years he had lost his ability to walk. At the age of 3 years, he had severe proximal limb weakness, muscle wasting, areflexia, and scoliosis. Results of nerve conduction studies were normal, but EMG showed chronic partial denervation, with fibrillations and severe loss of motor unit potentials. These electrophysiologic findings were compatible with spinal muscular atrophy. At the time of the study, he was still alive at age 4 years. The evidence of lower motor neuron disease was taken to indicate that the clinical expression of TK2 mutations is not limited to myopathy. </p>

Each unaffected parent was heterozygous for 1 of the mutations. TK2 activity in patient fibroblasts was 4% of controls. The patient had mild ptosis at age 13 years, dysarthria at age 15, and proximal lower limb weakness at age 25. At age 31, he presented with ptosis, upper gaze limitation, hypophonia, axial and limb muscle weakness, and respiratory insufficiency, although he remained ambulatory.

<p>In 2 Finnish sisters with adult-onset autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions-3 (PEOB3; 617069), Tyynismaa et al.

The mutations, which were found by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, were filtered against the dbSNP (build 130) and 1000 Genomes Project databases. The R225W mutation was not found in 400 Finnish control chromosomes, but the T230A mutation was found in 1 of 400 Finnish control chromosomes. Parental DNA was not available for segregation analysis. The mutated residues, while located within a highly conserved sequence block, are not themselves fully conserved, even among vertebrates. In vitro functional expression studies in E. coli showed that both mutant enzymes had higher Km and lower Vmax values compared to wildtype, resulting in decreased catalytic efficiencies (17-22% for T230A and 3-4% for R225W). Mitochondria isolated from both patients' cells showed TK2-specific activity between 22 and 54% of controls. Tyynismaa et al.

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
