Journal ArticleDOI
The mitochondrial bottleneck occurs without reduction of mtDNA content in female mouse germ cells
Liqin Cao,Hiroshi Shitara,Takuro Horii,Yasumitsu Nagao,Hiroshi Imai,Kuniya Abe,Takahiko Hara,Jun-Ichi Hayashi,Hiromichi Yonekawa +8 more
TL;DR: The mitochondrial bottleneck is not due to a drastic decline in mtDNA copy number in early oogenesis but rather to a small effective number of segregation units for mtDNA in mouse germ cells, which provides new information formtDNA segregation models and for understanding the recurrence risks for mt DNA diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the molecular basis of sleep need using quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of the sleep-deprived and sleepy mouse models of increased sleep need.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Evidence Confirms That the Mitochondrial Bottleneck Is Generated without Reduction of Mitochondrial DNA Content in Early Primordial Germ Cells of Mice
TL;DR: Clear evidence is provided to confirm that no remarkable reduction in mt DNA content occurs in PGCs and reinforce that the bottleneck is generated without reduction of mtDNA content in germ cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential segregation patterns of sperm mitochondria in embryos of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis).
TL;DR: It is postulate that the aggregate of sperm mitochondria in developing embryos eventually ends up in the first germ cells, thus accounting for the presence of paternal mtDNA in the male gonad.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence That the Large Noncoding Sequence Is the Main Control Region of Maternally and Paternally Transmitted Mitochondrial Genomes of the Marine Mussel (Mytilus spp.)
TL;DR: The large unassigned region (LUR) as mentioned in this paper is a non-coding sequence between the l-rRNA and the tRNA(Tyr) genes in the mtDNA of the sea urchin M. edulis/galloprovincialis.
