Sedimentation Properties of RNA Species homologous to Mitochondrial DMA in HeLa Cells

Nature volume 224, pages 1079–1083 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

Most of the RNA homologous to mitochondrial DNA in HeLa cells is represented by species with sedimentation coefficients between 9S and 15S—with a prominent 12S component—and by 4S RNA. No ribosomal RNA species hybridizable with mitochondrial DNA were detected: similarly, the 21S RNA present in crude mitochondrial preparations had no appreciable sequence homology to mitochondrial DNA.
