  • Analysis of maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA using developed organelle sorter system, SASAKI NARIE; MORIYAMA Yosuke; ITAMI Kenichirou; URAKAWA Naoki; NAKAMURA Satoru; SASAKI Taeko; TANAKA Yoriko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Nagoya University, 01 Apr. 2015, 31 Mar. 2018, In many eukaryotes, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited maternally, which is called maternal inheritance. For maternal inheritance, selective digestion of mtDNA in paternal mitochondria is essential. However, it is unknown how mtDNA in paternal mitochondria is selectively digested by DNase after zygosis or fertilization. In this study, to identify DNase involved in maternal inheritance of mtDNA, we tried to fractionate paternal mitochondria which had no mtDNA from zygote of Physarum polycephalu using cell sorter. Since mitochondria were destroyed in the cell sorter, we couldn’t fractionate. Then, we performed proteome analysis of isolated mitodhondria from zygote by nanoLC-MS/MS. We identified nine DNases in isolated mitochondria from zygotes that had mitochondria without mtDNA., 15K14559
