Nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial structural gene for subunit 9 of yeast ATPase complex. 1979

L A Hensgens, and L A Grivell, and P Borst, and J L Bos

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a segment of Saccharomyces mtDNA that contains the structural gene for one of the subunits (the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex. The sequence fits the known amino acid sequence of this protein with the exception of one amino acid. Codon usage is biased in favor of A + T-rich codons. On both sides of the gene, the nucleotide sequence contains less than 4% (mol/mol) G + C for at least 180 nucleotides; these A + T sequences show no evidence of internal repetition. The gene and all the A + T-rich sequence preceding the gene are present in a 12S RNA that is the major transcript of this segment of mtDNA. The nature of the sequences responsible for binding ribosomes to mitochondrial mRNA and for termination of RNA synthesis is considered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

D004272 DNA, Mitochondrial Double-stranded DNA of MITOCHONDRIA. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial GENOME is circular and codes for ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, and about 10 proteins. Mitochondrial DNA,mtDNA
D005796 Genes A category of nucleic acid sequences that function as units of heredity and which code for the basic instructions for the development, reproduction, and maintenance of organisms. Cistron,Gene,Genetic Materials,Cistrons,Genetic Material,Material, Genetic,Materials, Genetic
D005815 Genetic Code The meaning ascribed to the BASE SEQUENCE with respect to how it is translated into AMINO ACID SEQUENCE. The start, stop, and order of amino acids of a protein is specified by consecutive triplets of nucleotides called codons (CODON). Code, Genetic,Codes, Genetic,Genetic Codes
D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
