Example sentences for: mitochondria
How can you use “mitochondria” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
All of the possible exon values are displayed when "Intron" is the selected "RNA Type," while only a subset of the possible exon values are shown when Mit (mitochondria) is the selected "Cell Location."
Recently, we demonstrated that the targeting of the pro-apoptotic protein tBid to mitochondria depends upon the presence of the mitochondria-specific lipid cardiolipin in a possibly unique structure [ 9 ] . Cardiolipin has a defined distribution pattern within mitochondria [ 10 ] . It is found in high concentrations throughout the inner membrane, including at contact sites where the inner membrane and outer membrane interact.
We tested the association of tBid with contact sites by employing the statistics of spatial point patterns [ 16 ] . We measured the distances between the 3-D loci of all contact sites and immunogold particles in the tomographic reconstructions of WT tBid and tBid G94E labeled mitochondria.
However, the preservation of the outer membrane of isolated mouse liver mitochondria treated with this tBid was less than optimal for testing the hypothesis of tBid association with contact sites.
Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] . These studies include the determination of the order of genes, i.e., co-linearity [ 24 25 ] , the location of synteny [ 26 27 28 ] and the identification of clusters of orthologous genes [cog] between two genomes [ 21 22 23 ] . Along similar lines of thought, it should be extremely useful to locate, identify and catalog the sets of "core" genes common to these genomes-genomes which otherwise may be related or semi-related or unrelated in other respects.
