Cytoplasmic DNA in the unfertilized sea urchin egg: Physical properties of circular mitochondrial DNA and the occurrence of catenated forms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
The mitochondrial DNA in the unfertilized egg of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus is present in an amount approximately seven times that of the haploid nuclear DNA.(1) The mitochondrial DNA has a higher buoyant density than the nuclear DNA and consists ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Ethics of modifying the mitochondrial genome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent preclinical studies have shown the feasibility of specific variants of nuclear transfer to prevent mitochondrial DNA disorders. Nuclear transfer could be a valuable reproductive option for carriers of mitochondrial mutations.

Mitochondrial DNA Medicine

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 2007
The small, maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has turned out to be a hotbed of pathogenic mutations: 15 years into the era of ‘mitochondrial medicine’, over 150 pathogenic point mutations and countless rearrangements have been associated with a variety of multisystemic or tissue-specific human diseases.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Commentary of "The Use of Mitochondrial Replacement in IVF: A Call for Expansion"

open access: yesVoices in Bioethics, 2014
by Lillian Ringel • Briana’s op-ed calling for expansion of mitochondrial DNA replacement in IVF was an interesting read.  She starts her op-ed with a description of what mitochondrial DNA is, and though it may seem rudimentary to some, since I have a

TYMP Variants Result in Late-Onset Mitochondrial Myopathy With Altered Muscle Mitochondrial DNA Homeostasis

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Biallelic TYMP variants result in the mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE), a juvenile-onset disorder with progressive course and fatal outcome. Milder late-onset (>40 years) form has been rarely described.
