The Number of Mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic Acid Genomes in Mouse L and Human HeLa Cells
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA can be isotopically labeled to the virtual exclusion of nuclear DNA labeling in cell lines lacking the major soluble thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) but retaining a mitochondrial thymidine kinase. This characteristic provides a means for the selective assay of mitochondrial DNA during isolation and a determination of the cellular content of mitochondrial DNA. The simplest of the three isolation procedures compared in this study is shown to yield approximately two-thirds of the total mitochondrial DNA in the tissue culture cells examined. Mouse L cells containing predominantly a 107 dalton closed circular mitochondrial DNA species have 1100 ± 250 molecules per cell. A second line of mouse L cells which has mitochondrial DNA of molecular weight 2 x 107 contains approximately 900 molecules per cell. HeLa cells have at least four times the mitochondrial DNA mass per mitochondrial volume as L cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
