Structure Casts Light on mtDNA Replication

In this issue, Lee et al. (2009) present a crystal structure of the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase (POLgamma). The structure of this heterotrimeric enzyme lays a foundation for understanding how POLgamma mutations cause human mitochondrial disease and why some antiviral nucleoside analogs cause cellular toxicity.

Ancient mtDNA Genetic Variants Modulate mtDNA Transcription and Replication

Although the functional consequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic backgrounds (haplotypes, haplogroups) have been demonstrated by both disease association studies and cell culture experiments, it is not clear which of the mutations within the haplogroup carry functional implications and which are "evolutionary silent hitchhikers". We set forth to study the functionality of haplogroup-de...

PrimPol is required for replication reinitiation after mtDNA damage.

Eukaryotic PrimPol is a recently discovered DNA-dependent DNA primase and translesion synthesis DNA polymerase found in the nucleus and mitochondria. Although PrimPol has been shown to be required for repriming of stalled replication forks in the nucleus, its role in mitochondria has remained unresolved. Here we demonstrate in vivo and in vitro that PrimPol can reinitiate stalled mtDNA replicat...
