La senescencia en Podospora anserina: amplificación de una secuencia de ADN mitocondrial
Cell
|August 1, 1980
Resumen
La senescencia en Podospora anserina está controlada por factores citoplasmáticos. Se identificó un ADN de senescencia específico (ADN-SEN), amplificado desde el cromosoma mitocondrial, en culturas senescentes, que ofrece información sobre los mecanismos de envejecimiento.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La micología de la micología.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- La senescencia celular es un complejo proceso de envejecimiento.
- En Podospora anserina, la senescencia ha estado históricamente vinculada a la herencia citoplasmática.
- Investigaciones anteriores indicaron el control citoplasmático sobre la senescencia en este organismo.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar las bases moleculares de la senescencia en Podospora anserina.
- Para identificar elementos específicos del ADN asociados con el fenotipo senescente.
- Para aclarar el origen y la naturaleza del ADN asociado a la senescencia.
Principales métodos:
- Aislamiento de ADN de cultivos jóvenes y senescentes de Podospora anserina.
- Técnica de hibridación del sur para el análisis del ADN.
- Caracterización del ADN específico (SEN-DNA) que se encuentra en las células senescentes.
Principales resultados:
- Una molécula única de ADN, denominada ADN senescente (SEN-DNA), fue detectada exclusivamente en culturas senescentes.
- El SEN-ADN comprende secuencias repetidas organizadas en moléculas circulares multiméricas.
- La unidad monomérica del SEN-ADN estudiado tiene 6300 pares de bases de largo.
- La hibridación del sur confirmó que el SEN-ADN se origina en la amplificación de una secuencia de cromosomas mitocondriales.
Conclusiones:
- La senescencia en Podospora anserina implica la amplificación de las secuencias de ADN mitocondrial.
- Este proceso de amplificación es análogo a las ro-mutaciones de la levadura.
- Los hallazgos contribuyen a comprender el determinismo genético y molecular de la senescencia fúngica.

01:29Non-nuclear Inheritance
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.
02:59Animal Mitochondrial Genetics
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...
02:19Export of Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genes
A eukaryotic cell can have up to three different types of genetic systems: nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast. During evolution, organelles have exported many genes to the nucleus; this transfer is still ongoing in some plant species. Approximately 18% of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear genome is thought to be derived from the chloroplast’s cyanobacterial ancestor, and around 75% of the yeast genome derived from the mitochondria’s bacterial ancestor. This export has occurred irrespective...
01:37Mitochondria
Mitochondria are eukaryotic cellular organelles that are known to produce energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Besides their primary function, mitochondria are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, signaling, metabolism, and senescence. Age-related changes cause a decline in mitochondrial quality and integrity due to increased mitochondrial mutations and oxidative damage. Thus, aging can severely impact mitochondrial functions,...
02:15Replicative Cell Senescence
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds the telomeric...
