Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the oxudercine, spotted hidden-teeth goby Apocryptodon punctatus (Tomiyama, 1934) has been amplified in this study. Apocryptodon punctatus was found in Japan, Taiwan and Eastern Mainland China. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,567 base pairs (bp) in total length, had the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 1 control region (CR) and 1 light-strand replication origin (OL). The overall base composition of Apocryptodon punctatus is 29.2% for A, 28.6% for T, 25.9% for C, 16.3% for G, with higher AT content 57.8%. This study will contribute and be rather beneficial for understanding the phylogenetic approach of species of Apocryptodon and the related genera among gobioids.

Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
