Biochemical and molecular consequences of massive mitochondrial gene loss in different tissues of a mutant strain of Drosophila subobscura.

Abstract excerpt

In the studied mutant strain of Drosophila subobscura, 78% of the mitochondrial genomes lost >30% of the coding region by deletion. The mutations was genetically stable. Despite this massive loss of mitochondrial genes, the mutant did not seem to be affected. Distribution of the two genome types, cell levels of mitochondrial DNA, steady-state concentrations of the mitochondrial gene transcripts, mitochondrial...
