TLDR
The results suggest that Tetrahymena mtDNA is a circularly permuted collection of molecules and that initiation of DNA synthesis occurs at multiple sites on the molecule.About:

Mitochondrial Nucleic Acids
Piet Borst,L.A. Grivell +1 more
TL;DR: Present knowledge about the structure and function of mt DNA and its transcription products is briefly discussed with special emphasis on the unusual structure of mtDNA in Tetrahymena pyriformis and recent experiments on the possible import of mRNA into mitochondria.

Biogenetic autonomy of mitochondria.
TL;DR: The Biogenetic Autonomy of Mitochondria as mentioned in this paper was first published in CRC Critical Reviews in Biochemistry: Vol. 1, No. 3, pp. 381-460.

Mitochondrial form and function relationships in vivo: their potential in toxicology and pathology
Robert A. Smith,Muriel J. Ord +1 more
TL;DR: Great advances have been made in recent years in the use of ultrastructural staining methods for the localization within the mitochondria of specific enzymes, ionic species, and glycoproteins, thereby extending functional and structural correlations.

Large circular mitochondrial DNA in Crithidia luciliae.
TL;DR: A novel circular DNA, 11.3 μm in contour length, has been found in a pure kinetoplast DNA fraction of Crithidia luciliae and the absence of these large circular molecules in the nuclear fraction of DNA suggest that they constitute the mitochondrial genome of this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis by electron microscopy of intermediates in the replication of linear Tetrahymena mitochondrial DNA
TL;DR: A speculative scheme for the conversion of linear DNA with one 3′-single-stranded end into fully duplex molecules is presented, which utilizes the previous finding that this DNA contains a terminal duplication-inversion.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the intact mitochondrial DNA of S. carlsbergensis and S. cerevisiae consists of a circular molecule with a contour length of approx.

The presence of DNA molecules with a displacement loop in standard mitochondrial DNA preparations
TL;DR: In electron micrographs of standard closed circular duplex mtDNA preparations from chick liver, spread by the protein monolayer technique from solutions containing 40 or 76% formamide, up to 30% of the molecules contained a singled-stranded displacement loop.

Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acid Formation in vitro by MS 2 Phage-Induced RNA Synthetase
Charles Weissmann,Piet Borst +1 more
TL;DR: Part of the RNA synthesized from nucleoside triphosphate precursors by partially purified RNA synthetase, an enzyme induced in Escherichia coli by the RNA-containing phage MS 2, is resistant to hydrolysis by ribonuclease.

TL;DR: DATP incorporation into acid-insoluble material by isolated chick-liver mitochondria was not inhibited by phenethyl alcohol and only to a limited extent by high concentrations of nalidixic acid and half-maximal inhibition by ethidium bromide was sufficient to completely block the incorporation of dATP in high-molecular-weight DNA.
