Annals of Medicine, 2005 The small circle of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) present in all human cells has proven to be a veritable Pandora's box of pathogenic mutations and rearrangements. In this review, we summarize the distinctive rules of mitochondrial genetics (maternal inheritance, mitotic segregation, heteroplasmy and threshold effect), stress the relatively high prevalence

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

MitoNeoD:a mitochondria-targeted superoxide probe [PDF]
, 2017 Mitochondrial superoxide (O2⋅−) underlies much oxidative damage and redox signaling. Fluorescent probes can detect O2⋅−, but are of limited applicability in vivo, while in cells their usefulness is constrained by side reactions and DNA intercalation.

Plants, 2019 Plants are sessile organisms, and their DNA is particularly exposed to damaging agents. The integrity of plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes is necessary for cell survival.

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2017 Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared to animals. Nearly all animal mitochondrial genomes are about 16.5. kbp in length, whereas plant mitochondrial genomes range between 200-2,000 kbp. This is curious if we assume modern mitochondria originated from a common alpha-proteobacterial ancestor.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70, a molecular chaperone for proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
, 1994 Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mt-Hsp70) has been shown to play an important role in facilitating import into, as well as folding and assembly of nuclear-encoded proteins in the mitochondrial matrix.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two marine monogonont rotifer Brachionus manjavacas strains
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The complete mitochondrial genomes of Brachionus manjavacas German strain were 10,721 bp (mitochondrial DNA I) and 12,274 bp (mitochondrial DNA II) in size, while the complete mitochondrial genomes of B.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2006 The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations has been proposed as a potential mechanism in the physiological processes of ageing and age-related disease. Although mitochondria have long been anticipated as a perpetrator of ageing, there was little experimental evidence to link these changes directly with the cellular pathology of ageing.
