35 Years of TFAM Research: Old Protein, New Puzzles

Biology, 2023
Transcription Factor A Mitochondrial (TFAM), through its contributions to mtDNA maintenance and expression, is essential for cellular bioenergetics and, therefore, for the very survival of cells.

Spermatozoon and mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2002
In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are the major site of ATP production, which is achieved through the electron‐transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, according to the energy demand. Mitochondria contain their own genome (mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) on which a limited number of genes are encoded. In the human sperm, mitochondria helically wrap the

Mitochondrial DNA Methylation and Human Diseases

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Epigenetic modifications of the nuclear genome, including DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNA post-transcriptional regulation, are increasingly being involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases.

Structural and Molecular Basis for Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Transcription in Health and Antiviral Drug Toxicity

Molecules, 2023
Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a 16.9 kbp double-stranded, circular DNA, encoding subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation electron transfer chain and essential RNAs for mitochondrial protein translation.

Mitochondrial DNA in Sepsis [PDF]

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2017
Purpose of review Our understanding of critical illness is transforming as we develop a better understanding of the impact pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) have on the pathogenesis of disease. Of the known DAMPs, there is a growing interest in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a

Analysis of Nuclear Mitochondrial DNA Segments of Nine Plant Species: Size, Distribution, and Insertion Loci [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2016
Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment (Numt) insertion describes a well-known phenomenon of mitochondrial DNA transfer into a eukaryotic nuclear genome. However, it has not been well understood, especially in plants. Numt insertion patterns vary from species
