Abstract The mitochondrial genome of honeybees is characterized by the presence of a long intergenic sequence located between the COI and COII genes. In addition, the length of this sequence varies between and within subspecies. Four length categories (200, 250, 450 and 650 bp) have been found in 63 sampled colonies. Analysis of the sequence of the largest type reveals the existence of two units: P (54 bp, 100% A + T) and Q (196 bp, 93.4% A + T). The lengths encountered in the sample are explained by the following combinations: Q, PQ, PQQ and PQQQ. According to similarities in primary and secondary structures, the sequence Q has been divided into three parts: Q1 (similar to the 3' end of the COI gene), Q2 (similar to the neighboring tRNA(leu) gene) and Q3 (highly similar to the P sequence). These relationships led us to hypothesize that these sequences, which do not have any counterpart in Drosophila yakuba mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), arose by tandem duplication. The usual location of length variation in mtDNA control regions prompted us to examine the hypothesis that this COI-COII intergenic region might contain an origin of replication. High A + T content, stability profile, hairpin and cloverleaf putative secondary structures are all in favor of this hypothesis.

Mitochondrial Dna Inheritance

Abstract Patterns of mating and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance were investigated for the Basidiomycete, Coprinus cinereus in order to better understand the relationship of reproductive biology and mtDNA evolution in fungi. Results showed that the unique mating system of basidiomycetes can lead to the formation of mitochondrial mosaics (i.e., colonies composed of sectors differing in mtDNA). Mitochondria do not migrate along with nuclei during mating. Intracellular mixed or recombinant mtDNA molecules were not observed. Interestingly, it was found that mating asymmetry, caused by nonreciprocal nuclear migration, may be an important part of the reproductive biology of C. cinereus.
