Inverted replication of vertebrate mitochondria.
After analyzing the base composition asymmetry of coding regions in vertebrate mitochondria, we identified 2 fishes, Albula glossodonta and Bathygadus antrodes, with inverted compositional patterns. Both species appear to have an unusual control region (CR), and in B. antrodes, it has switched from the light strand to the heavy strand. To our knowledge, this is the first report in vertebrates o...
متن کامل39 Mitochondria 1 DNA Replication
Eukaryotic mitochondrial organelles contain a genome separate and distinct from that of the nucleus. Although limited in genetic content, expression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an essential function in most eukaryotes, and therefore the genome is not dispensable. Strategies designed to define both cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors required for mtDNA replication have been develope...
متن کاملAvoidance of antisense, antiterminator tRNA anticodons in vertebrate mitochondria
Protein synthesis (translation) stops at stop codons, codons not complemented by tRNA anticodons. tRNAs matching stops, antitermination (Ter) tRNAs, prevent translational termination, producing dysfunctional proteins. Genomes avoid tRNAs with anticodons whose complement (the anticodon of the 'antisense' tRNA) matches stops. This suggests that antisense tRNAs, which also form cloverleaves, are o...
متن کاملDNA replication checkpoint control of Wee1 stability by vertebrate Hsl7
G2/M checkpoints prevent mitotic entry upon DNA damage or replication inhibition by targeting the Cdc2 regulators Cdc25 and Wee1. Although Wee1 protein stability is regulated by DNA-responsive checkpoints, the vertebrate pathways controlling Wee1 degradation have not been elucidated. In budding yeast, stability of the Wee1 homologue, Swe1, is controlled by a regulatory module consisting of the ...
متن کاملGrowing backwards: an inverted role for the shrimp ortholog of vertebrate myostatin and GDF11.
Myostatin (MSTN) and growth differentiation factor-11 (GDF11) are closely related proteins involved in muscle cell growth and differentiation as well as neurogenesis of vertebrates. Both MSTN and GDF11 negatively regulate their functions. Invertebrates possess a single ortholog of the MSTN/GDF11 family. In order to understand the role of MSTN/GDF11 in crustaceans, the gene ortholog was identifi...
