Experimental relocation of the mitochondrial ATP9 gene to the nucleus reveals forces underlying mitochondrial genome evolution

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome profile of S. cerevisiae strains grown in rich ethanol/glycerol media, where the endogenous mitochondrial gene ATP9 has been deleted and relocated to the nucleus by expressing synthetic, codon-optimized versions of the Podospora anserina genes Atp9-5 and Atp9-7. The strains AMY7, AMY8, AMY10, and AMY11 each express one of these genes either from a centromeric or 2-micron plasmid. These strains are derived from RKY26, an atp9 deletion mutant which was not included in this experiment since it does not grow on respiratory media. The isogenic wild-type strain (MR6) was included as a control. Strains were produced for this study, and the arrays used were yeast tiling microarrays from Affymetrix. Note that normalization was performed using genomic DNA hybridizations, the raw data for which can be found in ArrayExpress Accession # E-TABM-1176.
