    Extractions: Welcome to the Introductory page for Jack Kennell and lab co-workers at Saint Louis University. We are interested in all things mitochondrial, especially mitochondrial genetics of filamentous fungi. Within this website you can find information describing fungal mitochondrial genomes, mutants, extrachromosomal plasmids, as well as nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial function. Particular emphasis is placed on the ascomycete, Neurospora crassa. The site is divided into three major areas: Mitochondrial Genomes and Mutants Mitochondrial Plasmids Nuclear-Mitochondrial Interactions The production of ATP coupled to electron transport is an invariant feature of mitochondria. In animal mitochondria, the respiratory chain begins with electrons being transferred from NADH to complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) or from the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate succinate to complex II (succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Electrons are transferred via ubiquinones, complex III (ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase), cytochrome c, complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) and finally to molecular oxygen to give water. Although this respiratory pathway is present in most fungal mitochondria, a few fungi, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe , lack complex I. More commonly, however, fungi have additional components, such as alternative NADH dehydrogenases and/or an alternative terminal oxidase (reviewed by Joseph-Horne et al. 2001).

    Extractions: "GENETICS AND GENEALOGY: Y Polymorphism and mtDNA Analyses", by Kevin F. Duerinck, Esq. [Revised August 30, 2003] What is a genealogist to do once he or she has traced her ancestors as far back as possible; that is, as far as the written records go? Let's talk genetics for a moment. As you may know, a person is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 total: half from mom, half from dad. Of these 23 pairs, a female would have a pair of XX chromosomes, which signifies the female gender. The male would have an XY pair, signifying the male gender. In males, unmatched X and Y chromosomes exchange DNA only at the ends of the two chromosomes (pseudoautosomal regions). Chromosomes are composed of DNA, which itself is composed of 4 nucleotides: A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) and G (guanine). These letters, ATCG, are the ones we follow. Currently there are 2 genetic methods of finding out if you are related to someone who may be an ancestor, whether living or deceased. The first method is "y polymorphism". In the Western culture, we have always traced our ancestors back in time by following the paternal line. In order to do this genetically, we must follow the y chromosome. Polymorphism is a term to show that mutations do occur in the Y chromosome, as can happen with other chromosomes. Note that the Y chromosome for the most part does not change (except for a small part of the pseudoautosomal regions). Different combinations of polymorphisms are known as haplotypes. Thus we are able to look at these changes and establish a genetic relationship between 2 living people (or 1 living, 1 deceased; or 2 deceased). This y polymorphism test is relatively new, and studies recording the frequency of different combinations of polymorphisms is even newer.

    http://www.musckids.com/health_library/genetics/mitochon.htm
    
    Extractions: Medical Genetics The normal 46 chromosomes in our body are contained in the center of the cell, which is called the nucleus. Mitochondria are structures in the cell located outside of the nucleus in the cytoplasm, that also contain genes that are separate from the ones in the nucleus. Unlike nuclear genes, which are inherited from both parents, mitochondrial genes are inherited only from the mother. If there is a mutation in a mitochondrial gene, it is passed from a mother to all of her children; sons will not pass it on, but daughters will pass it on to all of their children, and so on. The first human disease that was associated with a mutation in mitochondrial DNA is called Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, or LHON. What is Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)?

    http://members.aol.com/christofmorin/genetic_eng.html
    
    Extractions: The second feature of mtDNA genetics is that it undergoes replicative segregation during both mitosis and meiosis. Each human cell has hundreds of mitochondria and thousands of mtDNAs; this means that cells and human lineages can harbour mixtures of mutant and normal (wild-type) mtDNAs (heteroplasmy). Thus the proportion of mutant and wild-type mtDNAs that are distributed to daughter cells fluctuates when cells undergo the mitotic or meiotic process. Consequently, over repeated cell divisions, the mtDNA genotype can progressively shifts toward either a pure or a wild-type mtDNAs (homoplasmy). A third feature of mtDNA genetics is a threshold expression. In patients harbouring mtDNA mutations, the phenotype is a product of the nature of the mutation and the percentage of mutant mtDNAs (i.e. the oxidative phosphorylation defects), and the relative reliance of each organ system on mitochondrial energy production. Fourth, mtDNA genetics have a high sequence evolution rate, about 20 times higher than the nuclear DNA, notably because mitochondria do not contain reverse transcriptase. This means that deleterious mutations are far more probable in mtDNA than in nuclear DNA, creating extensive sequence variations among individuals and populations. However, while mtDNA does not code for any DNA repair proteins, it has been observed that a number of repair factors can be found in mitochondrial extracts. Thus, this could indicate the presence of a more complex repair process in mtDNA than in nuclear DNA.

    The development of mitochondria involves interaction of genes and their products from both the nucleocytoplasmic and the mitochondrial genetic systems.

    Extractions: The development of mitochondria involves interaction of genes and their products from both the nucleocytoplasmic and the mitochondrial genetic systems. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a very favorable organism for the study of these gene interactions, since mutations in both genetic systems can be isolated and manipulated. Furthermore, genetic transformation and homologous recombination allow the replacement of wild-type by mutant, or novel, DNA sequences in both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. We can express within mitochondria synthetic genes, employing the yeast mitochondrial genetic code, that specify proteins normally encoded in the nucleus. The proteins expressed from these synthetic genes provide reporters for analyzing the regulation of mitochondrial gene expression, and passenger proteins for analyzing the transport of mitochondrially translated proteins through the inner membrane. One of our synthetic mitochondrial genes encodes the Green Fluorescent Protein, allowing us to use fluorescence microscopy to observe directly mitochondrial gene expression in vivo The yeast mitochondrial gene expression system employs a novel, and surprisingly complex, mechanism for targeting translation of membrane proteins to the inner membrane. Translation of most, if not all, yeast mitochondrial mRNAs requires mRNA-specific activators. These activator proteins, coded in nuclear genes, are present inside mitochondria, associated with the inner membrane. Genetic analysis of functional interactions indicates that the activator proteins interact with the mitochondrially encoded 5' untranslated leaders of their target mRNAs. In addition, at least one of them interacts with mitochondrial ribosomes, suggesting that their role is to mediate the binding of ribosomes with their target mRNAs. Thus, translation of mRNAs encoding integral membrane proteins, such as cytrochrome
