Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial DNA (kinetoplast DNA) in trypanosomatids exists as a highly organized nucleoprotein structure with the DNA consisting of thousands of interlocked circles. Four H1 histone-like proteins (KAP1, 2, 3 and 4) are associated with the kinetoplast DNA in the trypanosomatid Crithidia fasciculata. We have disrupted both alleles of the KAP1 gene in this diploid protozoan and shown that expression of the...
