A linear DNA plasmid, designated pLLE1, has been isolated from a mitochondrial fraction of a strain of Lentinus edodes. pLLE1(11.0 kbp) was sensitive to the 3'----5'-acting exonuclease III and resistant to the 5'----3'-acting lambda exonuclease. It showed no homology with mitochondrial and nuclear genomic DNAs of plasmidless strain as well as the pLLE1-harboring host strain of L. edodes. The 1434-bp fragment (sequences) capable of autonomous replication in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ARSs) was cloned from pLLE1 DNA with YIp32 (pBR322 containing yeast LEU2 DNA), which displayed a high ARS activity. The cloned 1434-bp fragment was shown to lie near to the end of pLLE1 DNA (nucleotides about 800-2200) and contained three consecutive ARS consensus sequences (A/T)TTTAT(A/G)TTT(A/T) of S. cerevisiae and dispersive eight ARS consensus-like sequences. The subcloned 366-bp fragment containing the three ARSs retained original ARS activity of the 1434-bp fragment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
