Abstract:
Methods for delivering non-mitochondrial proteins to mitochondria are provided. Also provided are nucleic acid constructs comprising a coding sequence encoding a DNA-binding polypeptide, fused to a mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) and a nuclear export signal (NES), and the encoded proteins. The construct successfully delivers DNA binding proteins to the mitochondrion. A chimeric methylase based on the above construct is successfully delivered to mitochondria, resulting in modification of mtDNA.
Abstract:
Cofactor analogues for methyltransferases are disclosed. The compounds are represented by formula (I) wherein R1 is COOH or COO—; X is an organic or inorganic anion carrying one or more negative charges; Y and Y′ are H, or an alkyl; R2 is NH2, NHBoc, or H; and Z is S or Se. R comprises a carbon-carbon double bond, carbon-oxygen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, a carbon-carbon triple bond, carbon-nitrogen triple bond, an aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic system in β-position to the sulfonium center, unsaturated c-c bond, or c-heteroatom bond where the heteroatom is O, N, S.
Abstract:
Methods for using seeds comprising an epigenetic trait for reproducibly producing seed lots for sale with similar agronomic performance over multiple years and production cycles are provided.
