Drosophila Mitochondrial Genetics: Evolution of Heteroplasmy through Germ Line Cell Divisions.
The mitochondrial genotype of all F(1) female offspring (426 individuals) of a single Drosophila mauritiana female, heteroplasmic for two types of mtDNA (a short and a long genome), was established. All descendants were heteroplasmic. The earliest eggs laid by this female show the cytoplasmic genetic structure of ovariole stem cells at the end of development. Cohorts of females from the eggs la...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA evolution in experimental populations of Drosophila subobscura.
When two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of Drosophila subobscura compete in experimental populations with discrete generations, one or the other approaches fixation, depending on the nuclear background with which they are associated. The approach to fixation, however, is strongly dependent on the effective number of females in the population, Nf. Whether or not the ultimate fate of a give...
متن کاملOrigin and evolution of a chimeric fusion gene in Drosophila subobscura, D. madeirensis and D. guanche.
An understanding of the mutational and evolutionary mechanisms underlying the emergence of novel genes is critical to studies of phenotypic and genomic evolution. Here we describe a new example of a recently formed chimeric fusion gene that occurs in Drosophila guanche, D. madeirensis, and D. subobscura. This new gene, which we name Adh-Twain, resulted from an Adh mRNA that retrotransposed into...
متن کاملExtreme sequence heteroplasmy in bat mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy is shown to be extensive when amplification products from the mitochondrial control region are cloned and sequenced from a European bat species. In contrast, a mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene does not exhibit substantial levels of heteroplasmy when analyzed in an identical way. In the bat, heteroplasmy with respect to length as well as sequence seems to be transmitte...
متن کاملPolymorphism, heteroplasmy, mitochondrial fusion and diabetes.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly susceptible to mutations that result in polymorphisms and diseases including diabetes. We analyzed heteroplasmy, polymorphisms related to diabetes, and complementation by fusogenic proteins. Cytoplast fusion and microinjection allow, defects in mutated mtDNA inside a heteroplasmic cell to be complemented by fusing two mitochondria via human fusogenic proteins...
