Methylation of 12S rRNA is necessary for in vivo stability of the small subunit of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome.

TL;DR: The results thus show that TFB1M is a nonredundant dimethyltransferase in mammalian mitochondria and provide a possible explanation for the universal conservation of adenine dimethylation of rRNA by showing a critical role in ribosome maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

MTERF3 Is a Negative Regulator of Mammalian mtDNA Transcription

TL;DR: It is shown that MTERF3 is a negative regulator of mtDNA transcription initiation, the first example of a mitochondrial protein that acts as a specific repressor of mammalian mt DNA transcription initiation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Mitochondrial Transcription Revisited ONLY TFAM AND TFB2M ARE REQUIRED FOR TRANSCRIPTION OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL GENES IN VITRO

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that TFAM and TFB2M act synergistically and increase transcription efficiency 100-200fold as compared with RNA polymerase alone, and that only two essential initiation factors are required to drive transcription of the mitochondrial genome.
