Bacterial genome chimaerism and the origin of mitochondria

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Many studies have sought to determine the origin and evolution of mitochondria. Although the Alphaproteobacteria are thought to be the closest relatives of the mitochondrial progenitor, there is dispute as to what its particular sister group is.

Fine-tuning mitochondria to the nuclear genome

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2019
A new study in Science identifies strong selective pressure on mitochondrial DNA during transmission through the female germ line, as well as an interplay with the nuclear genome that shapes mitochondrial genetic variation.

Functional Divergence of Mitochondria and Coevolution of Genomes: Cool Mitochondria in Hot Lizards

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2018
Mitochondria play a key role in the ecology and evolution of species through their influence on aerobic metabolism. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear genomes must interact for optimal functioning of oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP, and breakdown of coadaptation components from each may have important evolutionary consequences for ...

Mitochondria Genome Mutations and Cardiovascular Diseases

2018
The cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality across the world. CVDs have multifactorial etiologies including environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Mitochondria (mt) are indispensable organelles harboring a 16,569 base-pair, circular DNA genome that encodes 13 proteins involved in electron ...

Gene duplication and transfer events in plant mitochondria genome

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
Gene or genome duplication events increase the amount of genetic material available to increase the genomic, and thereby phenotypic, complexity of organisms during evolution. Gene duplication and transfer events have been important to molecular evolution in all three domains of life, and may be the first step in the emergence of new gene functions ...

Analysis of the genome structure of plant mitochondria

1986
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the problems and techniques necessary for the efficient analysis of mitochondrial chromosomal DNA structure. The mitochondrial genome of higher plants is larger and more complex than the mitochondrial genomes of other groups of organisms.

The complete mitochondria genome of Sarcophaga africa (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
Sarcophaga africa (S. africa) is a significant medical and forensic insect which belongs to the Sarcophagidae. The species identification of the forensically important genus Sarcophaga is difficult and requires strong morphology and taxonomic expertise. With the sequencing technique improved, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the S. africa

Genome-Wide Analysis of RNA Extracted from Isolated Mitochondria

2011
Isolating mitochondria by subcellular fractionation is a well-established method for retrieving intact and functional mitochondria. This procedure has been used to identify proteins of the mitochondria and to explore import mechanisms. Using the same method, it was shown that mitochondria can be purified along with cytoplasmic ribosomes and nuclear ...
