Radically different maxicircle classes within the same kinetoplast: an artefact or a novel feature of the kinetoplast genome?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss here some results which suggest that radically different maxicircle classes coexist within the same kinetoplast. These data, although tentative and incomplete, may provide a new outlook on the kinetoplast genome structure and expression.

We discuss here some results which suggest that radically different maxicircle classes coexist within the same kinetoplast. These data, although tentative and incomplete, may provide a new outlook on the kinetoplast genome structure and expression. Report The kinetoplast genome is composed of a large heterogeneous population of minicircles and a small number of maxicircles. The maxicircles cont...
متن کاملThe kinetoplast duplication cycle in Trypanosoma brucei is orchestrated by cytoskeleton-mediated cell morphogenesis.
The mitochondrial DNA of Trypanosoma brucei is organized in a complex structure called the kinetoplast. In this study, we define the complete kinetoplast duplication cycle in T. brucei based on three-dimensional reconstructions from serial-section electron micrographs. This structural model was enhanced by analyses of the replication process of DNA maxi- and minicircles. Novel insights were obt...
متن کاملIsolation of maxicircle component of kinetoplast DNA from hemoflagellate protozoa.
Maxicircle DNA has been isolated from the kinetoplast DNA of Leishmania tarentolae culture forms by bouyant separation in CsCl in the presence of the A + T-binding dye Hoechst 33258, after liberation from the kinetoplast DNA network by cleavage with the single-hit restriction endonuclease EcoRI. The purified linearized maxicircle DNA has a density in CsCl of 1.681 g/cm3 (79% A + T) and a molecu...
متن کاملBiomedical Press, Amsterdam -- Printed in The Netherlands RESTRICTION MAP, PARTIAL CLONING AND LOCALIZATION OF 9S AND 12S KINETOPLAST RNA GENES ON THE MAXICIRCLE COMPONENT OF ~ KINETOPLAST DNA OF Leishmania tarentolae
We have constructed a restriction map of the maxicircle component of the kinetoplast DNA of Leishmania tarentolae for the enzymes EcoRI, BamHI, HaeIII, HpaII, SalI, BglII and HindIII. The 9 and 12S kinetoplast RNAs were localized on this map. Two fragments of this maxicircle molecule were cloned in the bacterial plasmid, pBR322, including a 4 .4 .106 dalton EcoRI/BamHI fragment which contains t...
متن کاملKinetoplast DNA maxicircles: networks within networks.
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), the mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, is an enormous network of interlocked minicircles and maxicircles. We selectively removed minicircles from Trypanosoma equiperdum kDNA networks by restriction enzyme cleavage. Maxicircles remained in aggregates that were resistant to protease or RNase and contained no residual minicircles, but were resolved into circular monomers by...
