Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology

Fred E. Hahn
TL;DR: This volume summarizes the current knowledge of the interferon-based natural antiviral protection system, including 2',5'-oligoadenylate and double-stranded RNA, to help to develop a solid scientific rationale for the practical use of heterologous immunomodulators in the clinics.

The Maintenance of Mitochondrial DNA Integrity—Critical Analysis and Update

TL;DR: This review attempts to present a unified view of the current understanding of the process of DNA repair in mitochondria with an emphasis on issues that appear controversial.

Apparent Turnover of Mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Mitochondrial Phospholipids in the Tissues of the Rat

TL;DR: The apparent turnovers of mitochondrial DNA and of the phospholipids, cardiolipin, lecithin, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine, have been determined simultaneously in the mitochondria of rat liver, kidney, brain, and heart.

Is there more to aging than mitochondrial DNA and reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: This review critically analyzes the experimental evidence that supports and refutes the Free Radical/Mitochondrial Theory of Aging, which has dominated the field of aging research for almost half a century.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal inheritance of the mouse mitochondrial genome is not mediated by a loss or gross alteration of the paternal mitochondrial DNA or by methylation of the oocyte mitochondrial DNA

TL;DR: The mitochondrial DNA is not differentially methylated during spermatogenesis, and no methylation differences were detected in mitochondrial DNA from sperm and oocytes following digestion with seven methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes.

Ultracentrifuge and electron microscope studies on the structure of mitochondrial DNA.

Biosynthesis of DNA by Isolated Mitochondria: Incorporation of Thymidine Triphosphate-2-C 14

TL;DR: Thymidine triphosphate-2-C14 and other deoxynucleoside Triphosphates are incorporated into the DNA of isolated mitochondria from rat liver cells and have the properties of mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA, and end-group studies indicate labeling of the interior of the molecule.
