The terminal structure of the linear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from three yeast species has been examined. By enzymatic digestion, alkali denaturation, and sequencing of cloned termini, it was shown that in Pichia pijperi and P. jadinii, both termini of the linear mtDNA were made of a single-stranded loop covalently joining the two strands, as in the case of vaccinia virus DNA. The left and right loop sequences were in either of two orientations, suggesting the existence of a flip-flop inversion ...[more]
