Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Plexippus paykulli is a circular molecule of 14,316 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 73.5% (T: 40.6%; C: 9.0%; A: 32.9%; G: 17.5%). ATP6, Cyt b, ND2, ND5 and ND4 genes begin with ATA as start codon; ATP8, ND1, ND3 and ND4L genes begin with ATT as start codon; COII and COIII genes begin with TTG as start codon; COI gene begins with AGA as start codon, while ND6 gene start with a typical ATG initiation codon. ATP6, COI, COII, COIII and ND3 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, ND6 ends with TA, ATP8, ND1 and ND2 end with TAG, Cyt b, ND5, ND4 and ND4L end with T.
