Displacement-loop replication initiation sequence in animal mitochondrial DNA exists as a family of discrete lengths.

Abstract:

:The single-stranded mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displacement-loop initiation sequence (7S mtDNA) is hydrogen-bonded at the origin of replication in animal cell mtDNA. Analysis of 7S mtDNA from several cell sources indicates that this initiation sequence exists as a family of fragments of relatively discrete lengths. mtDNA from both mouse L cells and mouse liver has four major sizes of 7S mtDNA fragments, ranging from 500 to 580 nucleotides in length. The 5'-end region of each of these species is the same; thus, the size heterogeneity is due primarily to differences in length at the 3'-end of these molecules. By contrast, 7S mtDNA from both human KB cells and human liver exists in three major forms, ranging from 555 to 615 nucleotides in length, due to differences at both terminal regions. The mtDNA initiation sequence from Xenopus laevis oocytes also exists in at least two forms, 1350 and 1510 nucleotides in length. Thus, the maintenance of multiple forms of mtDNA initiation sequence appears to be a general phenomenon of animal cells, although the precise mechanism of synthesis or processing of these forms is variable. The sequence of 42 nucleotides at the 5'-end of 7S mtDNA from mouse L cells has been determined and found to be rich in dGuo and dThd residues, with no apparent palindromes or potential secondary structures. We thus present sequence information on the replication origin of mtDNA, as defined by the naturally occurring 7S mtDNA.

  • Mechanism of cytotoxicity of human large granular lymphocytes: relationship of the cytotoxic lymphocyte protein to the ninth component (C9) of human complement.

    abstract::A Mr 70,000 protein was isolated from cytotoxic human large granular lymphocytes and shown to have cytotoxic activity. The protein was demonstrated to be immunochemically related to the ninth component (C9) of complement and was therefore designated C9-related protein (C9RP).
