In this paper, we present the nucleotide sequence of a 5248 bp-long region of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. This region which represents about 1/4 of the total mt genome of this species reveals a compact organization of genes including: the glutaminyl tRNA, the methionyl tRNA, the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene, the arginyl tRNA, the mitochondrial version of the ATPase subunit 9 gene, the cytochrome oxidase subunit II gene and a part of the NADH dehydrogenase ND4L and ND5 gene "complex". The main features of the part of mt DNA sequenced is the non-interrupted COXI gene and the presence in the mitochondrial version of the ATPase 9 gene of a small group IA intron. The extensive amino-acid sequence similarity with the equivalent gene in Aspergillus nidulans and Neuropora crassa indicates that this gene codes for a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding protein. The conserved arrangement of this portion of the mt genome and the presence of tRNAs between the protein-coding genes are compatible with a large polycistronic transcript processed by the excision of tRNAs, or similar secondary structures, as proposed for other fungal or mammalian mt DNAS.

The sequence of 13.9 kilobases (kb) of the 17.1-kb mitochondrial genome of Mytilus edulis has been determined, and the arrangement of all genes has been deduced. Mytilus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains 37 genes, all of which are transcribed from the same DNA strand. The gene content of Mytilus is typically metazoan in that it includes genes for large and small ribosomal RNAs, for a complete set of transfer RNAs and for 12 proteins. The protein genes encode the cytochrome b apoenzyme, cytochrome c oxidase (CO) subunits I-III, NADH dehydrogenase (ND) subunits 1-6 and 4L, and ATP synthetase (ATPase) subunit 6. No gene for ATPase subunit 8 could be found. The reading frames for the ND1, COI, and COIII genes contain long extensions relative to those genes in other metazoan mtDNAs. There are 23 tRNA genes, one more than previously found in any metazoan mtDNA. The additional tRNA appears to specify methionine, making Mytilus mtDNA unique in having two tRNA(Met) genes. Five lengthy unassigned intergenic sequences are present, four of which vary in length from 79 to 119 nucleotides and the largest of which is 1.2 kb. The base compositions of these are unremarkable and do not differ significantly from that of the remainder of the mtDNA. The arrangement of genes in Mytilus mtDNA is remarkably unlike that found in any other known metazoan mtDNA.

The complete open reading frame of subunit 2 of the NADH dehydrogenase in Oenothera mitochondria is split into five exons. The first two and the last three exons are encoded in distant genomic locations and are transcribed separately. Three tRNA genes coding for tRNA(Cys), tRNA(Asn), and tRNA(Tyr) are located upstream of the terminal three exons c, d, and e. The genomic distance, the interspersed tRNA genes, and the group II intron sequences flanking the two separated exons suggest trans-splicing to be required to connect exons b and c. Maturation of the mRNA includes RNA editing at 36 sites in the open reading frame. Three RNA editing events are observed in the split group II intron sequences. Two of these events allow after editing additional base pairings in the secondary structure, one in the stem of domain I, the other in the putative trans-pairing region of domain IV. These RNA editings may thus be involved in the trans-splicing reaction.

Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation was determined in 46 sedentary young adult males who took part in ergocycle endurance training programs in two laboratories to assess whether mitochondrial DNA variants were associated with individual differences in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and its response to training. VO2max was obtained from a progressive ergocycle test to exhaustion. White blood cell mitochondrial DNA was characterized with the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technique using 22 restriction enzymes and human mitochondrial DNA as a probe for hybridization. Multiple mitochondrial DNA variants were detected with 15 of the enzymes. Some subjects exhibited many RFLPs, while others showed no variation. These RFLPs (morphs) were generated by base substitutions located in gene regions coding for mitochondrial proteins as well as in the noncoding regions. Carriers of three mitochondrial DNA morphs, two in the subunit 5 of the NADH dehydrogenase gene and one in the tRNA for threonine, had a VO2max (ml.kg-1.min-1) in the untrained state significantly higher than noncarriers, while carriers of one mitochondrial DNA morph in subunit 2 of NADH dehydrogenase had a lower initial VO2max. Endurance training increased VO2max by a mean of 0.51 of O2, with individual differences ranging from gains of 0.06 to 1.03. After adjustment for training site and initial VO2max, a lower response was observed for three carriers of a variant in subunit 5 of the NADH dehydrogenase detected with HincII (mean gain of 0.28 I; P less than 0.05). These results suggest that sequence variation in mitochondrial DNA may contribute to individual difference in VO2max and its response to training.

The nucleotide sequence of a segment of the mitochondrial DNA from three Drosophila species (D. erecta, D. eugracilis, and D. takahashii), belonging to different subgroups of the melanogaster group has been determined. The segment encompasses three complete tRNA genes (tRNAtrp, tRNAcys, and tRNAtyr) and portions of two protein-coding genes: the subunit 2 of the NADH dehydrogenase (ND2) and the subunit 1 of the cytochrome oxidase (COI). Comparisons also involve homologous sequences already known for four other Drosophila species of the melanogaster group. Length differences were confined in the intergenic region where a long stretch of AT repeats was observed in one of the species analyzed. The three tRNA genes exhibit very different evolutionary rates, the most slowly evolving one, tRNAtyr, is adjacent to the 5' end of COI; tRNAs in similar positions have been previously shown to evolve slowly because they are probably involved in transcript processing. Although the rate of synonymous substitutions was very similar between ND2 and COI genes there were strong discrepancies between them in terms of the number of nonsynonymous substitutions. Differences have also been found in G + C content of the genes, which are likely to be linked to different selective pressures. There is a reduction in G + C content in the region where selective constraints are reduced. This suggests the existence of different levels of constraints along the sequenced segment. An overall analysis of the types of substitutions showed a decrease in A + T content during the course of evolution of the species.

Analysis of mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from parthenogenetic lizards of the Heteronotia binoei complex with restriction enzymes revealed an approximately 5-kb addition present in all 77 individuals. Cleavage site mapping suggested the presence of a direct tandem duplication spanning the 16S and 12S rRNA genes, the control region and most, if not all, of the gene for the subunit 1 of NADH dehydrogenase (ND1). The location of the duplication was confirmed by Southern hybridization. A restriction enzyme survey provided evidence for modifications to each copy of the duplicated sequence, including four large deletions. Each gene affected by a deletion was complemented by an intact version in the other copy of the sequence, although for one gene the functional copy was heteroplasmic for another deletion. Sequencing of a fragment from one copy of the duplication which encompassed the tRNA(leu)(UUR) and parts of the 16S rRNA and ND1 genes, revealed mutations expected to disrupt function. Thus, evolution subsequent to the duplication event has resulted in mitochondrial pseudogenes. The presence of duplications in all of these parthenogens, but not among representatives of their maternal sexual ancestors, suggests that the duplications arose in the parthenogenetic form. This provides the second instance in H. binoei of mtDNA duplication associated with the transition from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction. The increased incidence of duplications in parthenogenetic lizards may be caused by errors in mtDNA replication due to either polyploidy or hybridity of their nuclear genomes.

We have cloned and sequenced over 9 kb of the mitochondrial genome from the sea star Pisaster ochraceus. Within a continuous 8.0-kb fragment are located the genes for NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1, 2, 3, and 4L (ND1, ND2, ND3, and ND4L), cytochrome oxidase subunits I, II, and III (COI, COII, and COIII), and adenosine triphosphatase subunits 6 and 8 (ATPase 6 and ATPase 8). This large fragment also contains a cluster of 13 tRNA genes between ND1 and COI as well as the genes for isoleucine tRNA between ND1 and ND2, arginine tRNA between COI and ND4L, lysine tRNA between COII and ATPase 8, and the serine (UCN) tRNA between COIII and ND3. The genes for the other five tRNAs lie outside this fragment. The gene for phenylalanine tRNA is located between cytochrome b and the 12S ribosomal genes. The genes for tRNA(glu) and tRNA(thr) are 3' to 12S ribosomal gene. The tRNAs for histidine and serine (AGN) are adjacent to each other and lie between ND4 and ND5. These data confirm the novel gene order in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of sea stars and delineate additional distinctions between the sea star and other mtDNA molecules.

The gene organization of the Peking duck mitochondrial (mt)DNA has been deduced through heterologous hybridization using different cloned fragments of the chicken or Japanese quail mitochondrial genome as probes. As in the chicken, and other gallinaceous birds, the Peking duck mtDNA displays a novel gene order which differs from that of other vertebrates by the unusual localization of the tRNA(Glu) and ND6 genes next to the displacement (D) loop region of the molecule. The position of these genes with respect to the mitochondrial D-loop region, the cytochrome oxidase subunits I, II and III, the NADH dehydrogenase subunit I and the ribosomal (r) RNAs, was confirmed by the partial nucleotide sequence of cloned mtDNA fragments.

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of chloroplast DNA from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, using a clone bank of chloroplast DNA fragments. The circular genome consists of 121,024 base-pairs and includes two large inverted repeats (IRA and IRB, each 10,058 base-pairs), a large single-copy region (LSC, 81,095 base-pairs), and a small single-copy region (SSC, 19,813 base-pairs). The nucleotide sequence was analysed with a computer to deduce the entire gene organization, assuming the universal genetic code and the presence of introns in the coding sequences. We detected 136 possible genes. 103 gene products of which are related to known stable RNA or protein molecules. Stable RNA genes for four species of ribosomal RNA and 32 species of tRNA were located, although one of the tRNA genes may be defective. Twenty genes encoding polypeptides involved in photosynthesis and electron transport were identified by comparison with known chloroplast genes. Twenty-five open reading frames (ORFs) show structural similarities to Escherichia coli RNA polymerase subunits, 19 ribosomal proteins and two related proteins. Seven ORFs are comparable with human mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase genes. A computer-aided homology search predicted possible chloroplast homologues of bacterial proteins; two ORFs for bacterial 4Fe-4S-type ferredoxin, two for distinct subunits of a protein-dependent transport system, one ORF for a component of nitrogenase, and one for an antenna protein of a light-harvesting complex. The other 33 ORFs, consisting of 29 to 2136 codons, remain to be identified, but some of them seem to be conserved in evolution. Detailed information on gene identification is presented in the accompanying papers. We postulated that there were 22 introns in 20 genes (8 tRNA genes and 12 ORFs), which may be classified into the groups I and II found in fungal mitochondrial genes. The structural gene for ribosomal protein S12 is trans-split on the opposite DNA strand. The universal genetic code was confirmed by the substitution pattern of simultaneous codons, and by possible codon recognition of the chloroplast-encoded tRNA molecules, assuming no importation of tRNA molecules from the cytoplasm. The nucleotide residue A or T is preferred at the third position of the codons (G+C, 11.9%) and in intergenic spacers (G+C, 19.5%), resulting in an overall G+C content that is low (28.8%) throughout the liverwort chloroplast genome. Possible gene expression signals such as promoters and terminators for transcription, predicted locations of gene products, and DNA replicative origins are discussed.

Neurospora crassa mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains duplications of the tRNA(MMet) gene upstream of a gene (ND2) encoding a subunit of the NADH dehydrogenase complex and of the tRNA(Cys) gene which is found downstream of the apocytochrome b gene. Both duplicated genes are located upstream of the small rRNA gene. The duplications are extended to flanking sequences. In the case of the tRNA(MMet) duplication, two fragments of the ND2 gene are also duplicated. These two fragments, which are not contiguous in the ND2 gene, are connected to each other by a palindromic sequence of 37 bp and together they constitute an open reading frame. The possible involvement of this palindromic sequence in the processes of gene duplication and transfer is discussed. Two overlapping reading frames are present between the tRNA(MMet) and tRNA(Cys) copies. All information of the ND2 duplication and the two overlapping reading frames are present on a polycistronic transcript.
