ARS deficiencies are clinically heterogeneous and can cause severe, occasionally fatal disease. Supplementation with cognate amino acids to prevent local amino acid depletion has shown promise in ARS1 deficiencies, but its potential in ARS2 deficiencies remains largely unexplored. We investigated the effects of cognate amino acid depletion on mitochondrial function in fibroblasts from seven patients with ARS2 deficiencies using Seahorse respirometry and imaging flow cytometry. During amino acid depletion, patient fibroblasts showed decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced basal and maximal respiratory capacity. We additionally evaluated oral cognate amino acid supplementation in nine patients with SARS2, EARS2, LARS2, WARS2, FARS2, or VARS2 deficiencies. Supplementation was well tolerated, with no adverse effects observed. Several patients showed clinical improvements during treatment, including improved development, increased growth, and/or improved cardiac function. In two patients, treatment discontinuation coincided with severe neurological regression. Together, these findings demonstrate that assessing mitochondrial function during cognate amino acid depletion provides a novel functional assay for ARS2 deficiencies that may aid variant interpretation and supports a biological rationale for cognate amino acid supplementation. Clinical supplementation was well tolerated and showed preliminary beneficial effects.

Cargo selectivity is mediated by selective autophagy receptors (SARs), which link damaged or superfluous substrates to the autophagic machinery through LC3/GABARAP interactions, thereby coordinating cargo sequestration. Recent studies have revealed substantial mechanistic differences between bulk and selective autophagy, highlighting the specialized signaling pathways, receptor networks, and transcriptional programs that regulate selective cargo clearance. Dysregulation of these pathways has emerged as a key contributor to the pathogenesis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs), a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by defective metabolism and multisystem involvement. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms underlying major forms of selective autophagy, including mitophagy, pexophagy, glycophagy, lipophagy, ER-phagy, and ferritinophagy. It also discusses their relevance across IMD classes, such as mitochondrial disorders, lysosomal storage disorders, and peroxisomal diseases, among many others.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the metabolic profiles associated with TMEM70 and MT-ATP6 deficiencies during AMDs in comparison to stable metabolic conditions, assessing frequency and severity of hyperammonaemia, and exploring the mechanisms linking impaired mitochondrial ATP production to the urea cycle by in vivo ureagenesis studies, using [<sup>15</sup>N] ammonium chloride as stable isotope and assessed by high-resolution mass-spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography. We retrospectively analysed clinical and biochemical profiles from two genetically confirmed cohorts. Patients with TMEM70 deficiency experienced more frequent AMDs, often with hyperammonaemia and requiring extracorporeal detoxification, while the MT-ATP6 cohort had more prominent neurological symptoms and a lower incidence of hyperammonaemia. Biochemically, both groups showed elevated lactate, alanine and glutamine, with orotic aciduria and abnormalities in purine/pyrimidine metabolism. Plasma citrulline levels were divergent in the two cohorts, with a consistent reduction in patients with MT-ATP6 deficiency and normal or borderline elevated levels in the TMEM70 cohort. In vivo stable isotope studies pointed to the differential impact of TMEM70 and MT-ATP6 deficiency on ureagenesis and on the enrichment of individual urea cycle-related amino acids.
