Neurodegeneration: Potential Causes, Prevention, and Future Treatment Options [PDF]
, 2011 Here I advance a hypothesis that neurodegeneration is a natural process associated with aging due to the loss of genetic redundancy following a mathematical model R(t) = R0(1-αe(βC+γI+δEt)t), where the calorie intake (C) and ...

αSynuclein control of mitochondrial homeostasis in human-derived neurons is disrupted by mutations associated with Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
, 2017 The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) converges on a common pathogenic pathway of mitochondrial defects in which α-Synuclein (αSyn) is thought to play a role.

Evolution of linear chromosomes and multipartite genomes in yeast mitochondria [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2011 Mitochondrial genome diversity in closely related species provides an excellent platform for investigation of chromosome architecture and its evolution by means of comparative genomics. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of eight Candida species and analyzed their molecular architectures.

A Complex Genome-MicroRNA Interplay in Human Mitochondria
BioMed Research International, 2015 Small noncoding regulatory RNA exist in wide spectrum of organisms ranging from prokaryote bacteria to humans. In human, a systematic search for noncoding RNA is mainly limited to the nuclear and cytosolic compartments. To investigate whether endogenous small regulatory RNA are present in cell organelles, human mitochondrial genome was also explored ...

Genome‐wide analysis of mRNAs targeted to yeast mitochondria [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2002 It is agreed that nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial proteins are post‐translationally targeted to mitochondria, even if, in some cases, a co‐translational phase can assist the import of precursor proteins. We used yeast DNA microarrays to analyse the mRNA populations associated with free and mitochondrion‐bound polysomes.

The mitogenome of Onchocerca volvulus from the Brazilian Amazonia focus
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016 We report here the first complete mitochondria genome of Onchocerca volvulus from a focus outside of Africa. An O. volvulus mitogenome from the Brazilian Amazonia focus was obtained using a combination of high-throughput and Sanger sequencing ...

Mitochondrial genetics of alloplasmic male-sterile Brassica napus lines [PDF]
, 2005 Reliable and economical production of hybrid (F1) varieties requires efficient means to control pollination. The predominant system for pollination control of most field crops today is cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS).

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 deficiency is a novel disorder of mitochondrial fission [PDF]
, 2015 Defects of mitochondrial dynamics are emerging causes of neurological disease. In two children presenting with severe neurological deterioration following viral infection we identified a novel homozygous STAT2 mutation, c.1836C4A (p.Cys612Ter), using ...

Genome modification in plant mitochondria
Plant PhysiologyAbstract Mitochondria are an indispensable component of every plant cell and are inextricably linked to many vital functions. One of their key characteristics is that they have their own genome. This genome, although greatly reduced, encodes several essential genes.
