Abstract excerpt
We introduced mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a patient with a mitochondrial myopathy into established mtDNA-less human osteosarcoma cells. The resulting transmitochondrial cybrid lines, containing either exclusively wild-type or mutated (G5703A transition in the tRNA[Asn] gene) mtDNA, were characterized and analyzed for oxidative phosphorylation function and steady-state levels of different RNA species....
