Abstract excerpt
The Podospora anserina premature death syndrome was described as early growth arrest caused by a site-specific deletion of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and occurring in strains displaying the genotype AS1-4 mat-. The AS1-4 mutation lies in a gene encoding a cytosolic ribosomal protein, while mat- is one of the two forms (mat- and mat+) of the mating-type locus. Here we show that, depending on culture...
