Abstract excerpt
Mammalian mitochondrial DNA end-binding activity is nearly indistinguishable from that of nuclear Ku. This observation led to the hypothesis that mitochondrial DNA end-binding activity is in part dependent upon Ku80 gene expression. To test this hypothesis, we assayed for Ku activity in mitochondrial extracts prepared from the xrs-5 hamster cell line that lacks Ku80 mRNA expression. Mitochondrial protein extracts...
