High impact information on mt-Nd2

  • The presence of a curved DNA sequence in the gene for the NADH-dehydrogenase subunit 2 of rat mitochondrial genome, upstream from the origin of the light strand replication have been demonstrated through theoretical analysis and experimental approaches [1].
  • Oxidant exposure rapidly produced a large mtDNA deletion involving the coding regions for cytochrome c oxidase (COX 1) and NADH dehydrogenase (ND1 and ND2) [2].
  • Dimethyl sulfate footprinting has allowed the detection of a protein-DNA interaction within the curved ND2 region with contact sites located in both the strands [3].
  • Furthermore, BVR ND3 exhibited a higher catalytic rate than BVR ND2 with either cofactor throughout the pH range 6.5-9 [4].
  • Cellular DNA of the inbred mouse strains BALB/c, C3Hf, C57BL, CBA, DBAf , GRS and ND2 and the inbred rat strains BN, SD and WAG was shown to oncogenically transform murine fibroblasts of the continuous cell line BALB/3T3 [5].
