Genetic determinants of mitochondrial content.
The mitochondria are the major cellular site of energy production and respiration. Recent research has focused on investigating the role of mitochondria in disease development and it has become increasingly evident that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to a variety of human diseases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantity is very important for maintaining mitochondrial function and meeting the...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Mitochondrial Response to Arsenic
We have used yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a tool to identify the importance of mitochondrial processes involved in arsenic-induced carcinogenicity in humans. We screened 466 single-gene knockout strains of yeast S. cerevisiae known to be involved in biogenesis of mitochondria for sodium arsenite (AsIII) and sodium arsenate (AsV) sensitivity. We identified 72 arsenite-sensitive and 81 arsen...
متن کاملGlobal Genetic Determinants of Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number
Many human diseases including development of cancer is associated with depletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content. These diseases are collectively described as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS). High similarity between yeast and human mitochondria allows genomic study of the budding yeast to be used to identify human disease genes. In this study, we systematically screened the pre-...
متن کاملGenetic determinants of bone mineral content in premature infants.
Genetic determinants of bone mineral content in prematurely born children at 3 months and 9-11 years of age were studied. The findings suggest that multiple genes are involved in the regulation of site specific bone mass accumulation during childhood.
متن کاملMitochondrial determinants of mammalian longevity
Current ageing theories are far from satisfactory because of the many determinants involved in ageing. The well-known rate-of-living theory assumes that the product (lifetime energy expenditure, LEE) of maximum lifespan (MLS) and mass-specific basal metabolic rate (msBMR) is approximately constant. Although this theory provides a significant inverse correlation between msBMR and MLS as a whole ...
