The rotational dynamics of kinetoplast DNA replication.
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), from trypanosomatid mitochondria, is a network containing several thousand catenated minicircles that is condensed into a disk-shaped structure in vivo. kDNA synthesis involves release of individual minicircles from the network, replication of the free minicircles and reattachment of progeny at two sites on the network periphery approximately 180 degrees apart. In Crithi...
متن کاملIntramitochondrial Localization of Universal Minicircle Sequence-Binding Protein, a Trypanosomatid Protein That Binds Kinetoplast Minicircle Replication Origins
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), the mitochondrial DNA of the trypanosomatid Crithidia fasciculata, is a unique structure containing 5,000 DNA minicircles topologically linked into a massive network. In vivo, the network is condensed into a disk-shaped structure. Replication of minicircles initiates at unique origins that are bound by universal minicircle sequence (UMS)-binding protein (UMSBP), a sequen...
متن کاملThe attachment of minicircles to kinetoplast DNA networks during replication.
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), the trypanosomatid mitochondrial DNA, is a network containing several thousand interlocked minicircles. During kDNA synthesis, minicircles dissociate from the network, and after replication their progeny reattach to the network periphery. Using electron microscopy autoradiography, we found that newly synthesized 3H-labeled minicircles, after short labeling periods, are c...
متن کاملRole of p38 in replication of Trypanosoma brucei kinetoplast DNA.
Trypanosomes have an unusual mitochondrial genome, called kinetoplast DNA, that is a giant network containing thousands of interlocked minicircles. During kinetoplast DNA synthesis, minicircles are released from the network for replication as theta-structures, and then the free minicircle progeny reattach to the network. We report that a mitochondrial protein, which we term p38, functions in ki...
متن کاملIn situ hybridization to the Crithidia fasciculata kinetoplast reveals two antipodal sites involved in kinetoplast DNA replication.
Kinetoplast DNA is a network of interlocked minicircles and maxicircles. In situ hybridization, using probes detected by digital fluorescence microscopy, has clarified the in vivo structure and replication mechanism of the network. The probe recognizes only nicked minicircles. Hybridization reveals prereplication kinetoplasts (with closed minicircles), donut-shaped replicating kinetoplasts (wit...
