Pond smelt Hypomesus olidus (Pallas, 1814), one of the five species of the genus Hypomesus, family Osmeridae, was examined for intraspecific variation of the mitochondrial DNA cytb (1062 bp) and COI (567 bp) genes. Among the ten single substitutions discovered, only one, leading to the substitution of isoleucine by valine, was nonsynonymous, while the remaining substitutions were synonymous. The degree of genetic divergence among pooled nucleotide sequences in H. olidus populations examined constituted 0.4% on average, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6%. These values were not higher than the levels of divergence between the individuals within the populations. Phylogenetic analysis of the populations examined did not reveal their subdivision depending of their geographic location, and pointed to the absence of intraspecific differentiation of the species.

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.

The imbalance of microglial homeostasis is highly associated with age-related neurological diseases, where cytosolic endogenous DNA is also likely to be found. As the main medium for storing biological information, endogenous DNA could be localized to cellular compartments normally free of DNA when cells are stimulated. However, the intracellular trafficking of endogenous DNA remains unidentified.

One of the key events in DNA damage response (DDR) is activation of checkpoint kinases leading to activation of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) and increased synthesis of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), required for DNA repair. Among other mechanisms, the activation of dNTP synthesis is driven by derepression of genes encoding RNR subunits RNR2, RNR3, and RNR4, following checkpoint activation and checkpoint kinase Dun1p-mediated phosphorylation and inactivation of transcriptional repressor Crt1p. We report here that in the absence of genotoxic stress during respiratory growth on nonfermentable carbon source acetate, inactivation of checkpoint kinases results in significant growth defect and alters transcriptional regulation of RNR2-4 genes and genes encoding enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and glyoxylate cycles and gluconeogenesis.

Primary mitochondrial disorders are most often caused by deleterious mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we used a mitochondrial DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) to introduce a compensatory edit in a mouse model that carries the pathological mutation in the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) alanine (mt-tRNA) gene. Because the original m.
