Common Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Generated through DNA-Mediated Charge Transport [PDF]

, 2009
Mutation sites that arise in human mitochondrial DNA as a result of oxidation by a rhodium photooxidant have been identified. HeLa cells were incubated with [Rh(phi)2bpy]Cl3 (phi is 9,10-phenanthrenequinone diimine), an intercalating photooxidant, to ...

Homeostatic responses regulate selfish mitochondrial genome dynamics in C. elegans

bioRxiv, 2016
Selfish genetic elements have profound biological and evolutionary consequences. Mutant mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) can be viewed as selfish genetic elements that persist in a state of heteroplasmy despite having potentially deleterious consequences to

The mitochondrial genome of Fusarium oxysporum

Plasmid, 1989
Physical and genetic maps have been constructed for mtDNA from strains of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum representing three pathogenically specialized forms. All three mtDNA maps are circular. Their sizes are 45 kb for F. oxysporum f.sp. raphani and 52 kb for both F. oxysporum f.sp. conglutinans and F. oxysporum f.sp. matthioli.

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

The pseudo-mitochondrial genome influences mistakes in heteroplasmy interpretation

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts) are a potential source of contamination during mitochondrial DNA PCR amplification. This possibility warrants careful experimental design and cautious interpretation of heteroplasmic results.

The mitochondrial genome of soybean reveals complex genome structures and gene evolution at intercellular and phylogenetic levels. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Determining mitochondrial genomes is important for elucidating vital activities of seed plants. Mitochondrial genomes are specific to each plant species because of their variable size, complex structures and patterns of gene losses and gains during ...

DNA Methyltransferase1 (DNMT1) Isoform3 methylates mitochondrial genome and modulates its biology

Scientific Reports, 2017
Here we demonstrate localization of the isoform3 of DNA Methyltransferase1 (DNMT1) enzyme to mitochondria, instead of isoform1 as reported earlier. The fused DNMT1-isoform1, reported earlier to localize in mitochondria, surprisingly showed its exclusive ...

Inhibition of CDK9 enhances AML cell death induced by combined venetoclax and azacitidine

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The CDK9 inhibitor AZD4573 downregulates c‐MYC and MCL‐1 to induce death of cytarabine (AraC)‐resistant AML cells. This enhances VEN + AZA‐induced cell death significantly more than any combination of two of the three drugs in AraC‐resistant AML cells.

Maintenance and propagation of a deleterious mitochondrial genome by the mitochondrial UPR

Nature, 2016
Mitochondrial genomes (mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) encode essential oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) components. Because hundreds of mtDNAs exist per cell, a deletion in a single mtDNA has little impact.
