Targeting Repair Proteins to the Mitochondria of Mammalian Cells Through Stable Transfection, Transient Transfection, Viral Transduction, and TAT-Mediated Protein Transduction Author(s): Christopher A. Koczor, Janet W. Snyder, Inna N. Shokolenko, Allison W. Dobson, Glenn L. Wilson, Susan P. LeDoux

Pub. Date: Sept-01-2009; DOI:10.1007/978-1-59745-521-3_15
Summary: The mitochondrial genome represents a target for exogenous and endogenous damage. Its necessity for successful electron transport makes its repair valuable to the cell. Previous work from our lab has...

Quantitative Analysis of Somatic Mitochondrial DNA Mutations by Single-Cell Single-Molecule PCR

Pub. Date: Sept-01-2009; DOI:10.1007/978-1-59745-521-3_21
Summary: Mitochondrial genome integrity is an important issue in somatic mitochondrial genetics. Development of quantitative methods is indispensable to somatic mitochondrial genetics as quantitative studies...

Measuring DNA Precursor Pools in Mitochondria

Pub. Date: Sept-01-2009; DOI:10.1007/978-1-59745-521-3_22
Summary: The ability to measure molar concentrations of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) within the mitochondrial matrix is important for several reasons. First, the spontaneous mutation rate for...

Establishment of Human Cell Lines Lacking Mitochondrial DNA

Pub. Date: Sept-01-2009; DOI:10.1007/978-1-59745-521-3_23
Summary: Mitochondria have their own genome, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and 13 polypeptides that function in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). mtDNA mutations...
