Correlations between a nuclear and a mitochondrial mRNA of cytochrome c oxidase subunits, enzymatic activity and total mRNA content, in rat tissues.

Abstract:

:Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), like other multi-subunit components of the respiratory chain, is controlled by both the nuclear and the mitochondrial genome. In order to find wether there is a close relationship between mRNAs encoded by the nucleus and by the mitochondrion, and between these mRNAs and enzyme activity, we compared six rat tissues (ventricle, liver, m. soleus, m. plantaris, and the white and red portions of m. gastrocnemius). We found a tenfold range for COX activity, a tenfold range for the contents of mRNA III (mitochondrial) and mRNA VIc (nuclear), a threefold range for total [poly(A)+] mRNA content and a sevenfold range for total RNA content in these tissues. The ratio of mRNA III to mRNA VIc was equal in each tissue, indicating the presence of a mechanism that coordinates the two genomes. There was a good correlation between mRNA content and COX activity (r = 0.78 for VIc, r = 0.77 for III; p less than 0.0001), demonstrating that the expression of this enzyme is mainly under pretranslational control.
