Gene expression in mitochondria and bacteria

  • Published:
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Mitochondria and bacteria possess protein synthesizing machineries which are similar in many respects. The regulation of gene expression in mitochondria is unknown. We, therefore, tried to use a well-established prokaryotic regulatory system for the exploration of mitochondrial gene regulation. DNA of the bacterial virus can be used as a template for gene expression in a mitochondrialin vitro system. The gene directed enzyme synthesis in the mitochondrial system is the basis for a study of regulation in mitochondrial protein synthesis.
