Cytonuclear conflict in interpopulation hybrids: the role of RNA polymerase in mtDNA transcription and replication.
Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2010
Ellison C K, Burton R S
Abstract excerpt
Organismal fitness requires functional integration of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Structural and regulatory elements coevolve within lineages and several studies have found that interpopulation hybridization disrupts mitonuclear interactions. Because mitochondrial RNA polymerase (mtRPOL) plays key roles in both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and transcription, the interaction between mtRPOL and...
