Abstract excerpt
Most eukaryotes possess a mitochondrial genome, called mtDNA. In animals and fungi, the replication of mtDNA is entrusted by the DNA polymerase γ, or Pol γ. The yeast Pol γ is composed only of a catalytic subunit encoded by MIP1. In humans, Pol γ is a heterotrimer composed of a catalytic subunit homolog to Mip1, encoded by POLG, and two accessory subunits. In the last 25 years, more than 300 pathological...
