Mammalian Mitochondrial DNA Replicates Bidirectionally from an Initiation Zone*

Mark Bowmaker,ab Ming Yao Yang,ab Takehiro Yasukawa,ac Aurelio Reyes,ade Howard T. Jacobs,fgh Joel A. Huberman,ij and Ian J. Holtahk

From the aDunn Human Nutrition Unit, Wellcome Trust-Medical Research Council Building, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2XY, United Kingdom, the dSezione di Bioinformatica e Genomica di Bari, Istituto Tecnologie Biomediche, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Via Amendola 168/5, 70126 Bari, Italy, the fInstitute of Medical Technology and Tampere University Hospital, FIN-33014, University of Tampere, Finland and the Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, United Kingdom, and the iDepartment of Cancer Genetics, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York 14263-0001

Previous data from our laboratory suggested that replication of mammalian mitochondrial DNA initiates exclusively at or near to the formerly designated origin of heavy strand replication, OH, and proceeds unidirectionally from that locus. New results obtained using two-dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis of replication intermediates demonstrate that replication of mitochondrial DNA initiates from multiple origins across a broad zone. After fork arrest near OH, replication is restricted to one direction only. The initiation zone of bidirectional replication includes the genes for cytochrome b and NADH dehydrogenase subunits 5 and 6.
