Mitochondrial Nucleoid: Shield and Switch of the Mitochondrial Genome [PDF]
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017 Mitochondria preserve very complex and distinctively unique machinery to maintain and express the content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Similar to chromosomes, mtDNA is packaged into discrete mtDNA-protein complexes referred to as a nucleoid. In addition

A Mitochondrial Genome of Rhyparochromidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) and a Comparative Analysis of Related Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 The Rhyparochromidae, the largest family of Lygaeoidea, encompasses more than 1,850 described species, but no mitochondrial genome has been sequenced to date.

Modifying the Mitochondrial Genome. [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2016 Human mitochondria produce ATP and metabolites to support development and maintain cellular homeostasis. Mitochondria harbor multiple copies of a maternally inherited, non-nuclear genome (mtDNA) that encodes for 13 subunit proteins of the respiratory chain.

The Insights into Mitochondrial Genomes of Sunflowers [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The significant difference in the mtDNA size and structure with simultaneous slow evolving genes makes the mitochondrial genome paradoxical among all three DNA carriers in the plant cell. Such features make mitochondrial genome investigations of particular interest.

The ageing mitochondrial genome [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2007 The population of elderly individuals has increased significantly over the past century and is predicted to rise even more rapidly in the future. Ageing is a major risk factor for many diseases such as neurodegenerative disease, diabetes and cancer. This highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms involved in the ageing process.

Lophotrochozoan mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2006 Progress in both molecular techniques and phylogenetic methods has challenged many of the interpretations of traditional taxonomy. One example is in the recognition of the animal superphylum Lophotrochozoa (annelids, mollusks, echiurans, platyhelminthes, brachiopods, and other phyla), although the relationships within this group and the inclusion of ...

A cnidarian parasite of salmon (Myxozoa: Henneguya) lacks a mitochondrial genome
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Mitochondrial respiration is an ancient characteristic of eukaryotes. However, it was lost independently in multiple eukaryotic lineages as part of adaptations to an anaerobic lifestyle. We show that a similar adaptation occurred in a member

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Suaeda glauca
BMC Genomics, 2020 Suaeda glauca (S. glauca) is a halophyte widely distributed in saline and sandy beaches, with strong saline-alkali tolerance. It is also admired as a landscape plant with high development prospects and scientific research value. The S. glauca chloroplast

Mitochondrial helicases and mitochondrial genome maintenance [PDF]
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2010 Helicases are essential enzymes that utilize the energy of nucleotide hydrolysis to drive unwinding of nucleic acid duplexes. Helicases play roles in all aspects of DNA metabolism including DNA repair, DNA replication and transcription. The subcellular locations and functions of several helicases have been studied in detail; however, the roles of ...
