Sequence and properties of the human KB cell and mouse L cell D-loop regions of mitochondrial DNA
Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Received August 3, 1981. The sequences of the displacement-loop (D-loop) regions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from mouse L cells and human KB cells have been determined and provide physical maps to aid in the identification of sequences involved in the regulation of replication and expression of mammalian mtDNA. Both D-loop regions are bounded by the genes for tRNAPne and tRNAPro. This region contains the most highly divergent sequences in mtDNA with the exceptions of three small conserved sequence blocks near the 5' ends of D-loop strands, a 225 nucleotide conserved sequence block in the center of the D-loop strand template region, and a short sequence associated with the 3' ends of D-loop strands. A sequence similar, to that associated with the 3' termini of D-loop strands overlaps one of the conserved sequence blocks near the 5' ends of D-loop strands. The large, central conserved sequence probably does not code for a protein since no open reading frames are discretely conserved. Numerous symmetric sequences and potential secondary structures exist in these sequences, but none appear to be clearly conserved between species.
