  text: Imbalanced mitochondrial dNTP pools are known players in the pathogenesis
    of multiple human diseases. Here we show that, even under physiological conditions,
    dGTP is largely overrepresented among other dNTPs in mitochondria of mouse tissues
    and human cultured cells. In addition, a vast majority of mitochondrial dGTP is
    tightly bound to NDUFA10, an accessory subunit of complex I of the mitochondrial
    respiratory chain. NDUFA10 shares a deoxyribonucleoside kinase (dNK) domain with
    deoxyribonucleoside kinases in the nucleotide salvage pathway, though no specific
    function beyond stabilizing the complex I holoenzyme has been described for this
    subunit. We mutated the dNK domain of NDUFA10 in human HEK-293T cells while preserving
    complex I assembly and activity. The NDUFA10E160A/R161A shows reduced dGTP binding
    capacity in vitro and leads to a 50% reduction in mitochondrial dGTP content,
    proving that most dGTP is directly bound to the dNK domain of NDUFA10. This interaction
    may represent a hitherto unknown mechanism regulating mitochondrial dNTP availability
    and linking oxidative metabolism to DNA maintenance.
