A 1100-bp sequence of mitochondrial DNA is involved in senescence process in Podospora: study of senescent and mutant cultures.
Authors: Koll F; Belcour L; Vierny C Year: 1985 Journal: Plasmid Abstract: In Podospora, senescence is assumed to be caused by the amplification of short sequences of the mitochondrial genome (sen-DNAs). We have characterized a 1100-bp-long mitochondrial DNA sequence which could be directly involved in the phenomenon. Indeed, by hybridization experiments, we show that this sequence is both present in all the sen-DNA molecules which originate from the beta region of the mitochondrial chromosome and rearranged in the mitochondrial genome of two mitochondrial mutants selected as resistant to senescence.
