Identification of Sequences Encoding Symbiodinium minutum Mitochondrial Proteins. [PDF]
The dinoflagellates are an extremely diverse group of algae closely related to the Apicomplexa and the ciliates. Much work has previously been undertaken to determine the presence of various biochemical pathways within dinoflagellate mitochondria ...

Animal mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
Animal mitochondrial DNA is a small, extrachromosomal genome, typically approximately 16 kb in size. With few exceptions, all animal mitochondrial genomes contain the same 37 genes: two for rRNAs, 13 for proteins and 22 for tRNAs. The products of these genes, along with RNAs and proteins imported from the cytoplasm, endow mitochondria with their own ...

Cervus canadensis (Erxleben, 1777) has been used as a model species of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). We completed the mitochondrial genome of C. canadensis, susceptible to the CWD.

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.

Transformation of the mitochondrial genome
Although mitochondrial transformation is highly desirable in mammals and plants, it is only possible in two unicellular organisms, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Here, we give an overview of the attempts made to transform mitochondria of mammals and plants and the possible reasons ...

The Insights into Mitochondrial Genomes of Sunflowers [PDF]
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.

Mitochondrial Genome Variants as a Cause of Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy
Mitochondria are small double-membraned organelles responsible for the generation of energy used in the body in the form of ATP. Mitochondria are unique in that they contain their own circular mitochondrial genome termed mtDNA. mtDNA codes for 37 genes, and together with the nuclear genome (nDNA), dictate mitochondrial structure and function.

Summary: Mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) uptake augments metabolic processes and buffers cytosolic Ca2+ levels; however, excessive mitochondrial Ca2+ can cause cell death.

Genome Editing of Plant Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genomes
Abstract Plastids (including chloroplasts) and mitochondria are remnants of endosymbiotic bacteria, yet they maintain their own genomes, which encode vital components for photosynthesis and respiration, respectively. Organellar genomes have distinctive features, such as being present as multicopies, being mostly inherited maternally ...
