Study is devoted to "genes for mitochondria"--genes of mitochondrial genome and mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma gene (POLG1). We compared frequencies of polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA and in POLG1 between healthy individuals and patients with arterial hypertension, as well as between patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy. We did not discover significant differences of distribution of C allele of MspI-polymorphism in POLG1 in studied group. We have shown higher prevalence of mitochondrial haplogroup H of mtDNA in patients without left ventricle hypertrophy (OR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.17-0.98; p = 0.043), while compared with patients having this complication. Haplogroup T was more frequently detected in patients with left ventricle hypertrophy (OR = 6.16; 95% CI 1.17-9.74; p = 0.018). This result suggest implication of mitochondrial DNA in hypertension-induced left venticular hypertrophy.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a widely used assisted reproductive technology to achieve a successful pregnancy. However, the acquisition of oxidative stress in embryo in vitro culture impairs its competence. Here, we demonstrated that a nuclear coding gene, methyltransferase-like protein 7A (METTL7A), improves the developmental potential of bovine embryos.

Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) experience remarkable levels of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), including the recent discovery that orchids anciently acquired DNA from fungal mitogenomes. Thus far, however, there is no evidence that any of the genes from this interkingdom HGT are functional in orchid mitogenomes. Here, we applied a specialized sequencing approach to the orchid Corallorhiza maculata and found that some fungal-derived tRNA genes in the transferred region are transcribed, post-transcriptionally modified, and aminoacylated.

Prawns of the genus represent a highly diverse group of high commercial value worldwide. Eight species have been reported from the Peruvian Pacific slope, but their phylogenetic relationships are still unknown. To investigate the systematics of species from Peru, morphological identification and molecular data from nucleotide sequences of three genes were used: cytochrome oxidase subunit I, 16S rRNA, and 28S rRNA.

Ovarian tumours are these days one of the biggest oncogynecological problems. In addition to surgery, the treatment of ovarian cancer includes also chemotherapy in which platinum preparations are one of the most used chemotherapeutic drugs. The principle of antineoplastic effects of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), CDDP) is its binding to the DNA and the formation of adducts.

Circadian rhythms driven by biological clocks regulate physiological processes in all living organisms by anticipating daily geophysical changes, thus enhancing environmental adaptation. Time-resolved serial multi-omic analyses in vivo, ex vivo, and in synchronized cell cultures have revealed rhythmic changes in the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome, involving up to 50 % of the mammalian genome. Mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is central to cellular bioenergetics, and many nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins exhibit both circadian and ultradian oscillatory expression.
