In trypanosomes, the large mitochondrial genome within the kinetoplast is physically connected to the flagellar basal bodies and is segregated by them during cell growth. The structural linkage enabling these phenomena is unknown. We have developed novel extraction/fixation protocols to characterize the links involved in kinetoplast-flagellum attachment and segregation. We show that three speci...

Trypanosoma brucei has two DNA compartments: the nucleus and the kinetoplast. DNA replication of these two compartments only partially coincides. Woodward and Gull [Woodward R, Gull K. Timing of nuclear and kinetoplast DNA replication and early morphological events in the cell cycle of Trypanosoma brucei. J Cell Sci 1990;95:49-57] comprehensively studied the relative timing of the replication a...

The kinetoplast is a concatenated network of circular DNA molecules found in the mitochondrion of many trypanosomes. This mass of DNA is replicated in a discrete "S" phase in the cell cycle. We have tracked the incorporation of the thymidine analogue 5-bromodeoxyuridine into newly replicated DNA by immunofluorescence and novel immunogold labeling procedures. This has allowed the detection of pa...

The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei, called kinetoplast DNA, is a network of topologically interlocked DNA rings including several thousand minicircles and a few dozen maxicircles. Kinetoplast DNA synthesis involves release of minicircles from the network, replication of the free minicircles and reattachment of the progeny. Here we report a new function of the mitochondrial topoisome...

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...

The order Kinetoplastida is composed of several families of flagellated protozoa which are among the most ancient of the eukaryotes. The most prominent members of this order are parasites that are responsible for major tropical diseases. These parasites include Trypanosoma brucei, the African trypanosome; Trypanosoma cruzi, the South American trypanosome; and several species of Leishmania. Othe...

The mitochondrial DNA of the trypanosomatid Crithidia fasciculata consists of thousands of copies of a 2.5 kb minicircle and a small number of 37kb maxicircles catenated into a single enormous network. Treatment of C. fasciculata with the type II DNA topoisomerase inhibitor VP16 produces cleavable complexes of a type II DNA topiosomerase with both minicircles and maxicircles. A combined Souther...

A pleomorphic dyskinetoplastic strain of Trypanosoma brucei was produced by repeated acriflavine treatment. No kinetoplastic cells reappeared after 2 yr of maintenance in the absence of acriflavine. These dyskinetoplastic cells retained and therefore replicated the central element of the kinetoplast. This element was present in the "condensed" state typical of acriflavine-treated cells rather t...
