Interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA in mammalian cells are non-random


ABSTRACT: There is evidence for the on-going recurrent transfer of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the nucleus in both germ line and somatic cells. However, the outcomes associated with the transfer of mtDNA into somatic cell nuclei are poorly understood. High-resolution Chromosome Conformation Capture (HiC) techniques, which are used to identify global patterns of chromatin interactions, regularly capture physical interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA (i.e. mito-nDNA interactions) in mammalian cells. These mito-nDNA interactions are routinely considered a consequence of nonspecific ligation events during chromatin library preparation. Here, we have evaluated mito-nDNA interactions captured by HiC in six human cell lines, and by Circular Chromosome Conformation Capture (4C) in mouse cortical astrocytes. We show that mito-nDNA interactions are statistically significant and shared between biological and technical replicates in the HiC and 4C experiments. The most frequent interactions between mtDNA and nuclear loci in the HiC and 4C data occur with repetitive DNA sequences including the centromeric regions in the six human cell lines and 18S rDNA in mouse cortical astrocytes. Such findings confirm previous observations of mtDNA forming interactions with rDNA genes in budding yeast and centomeres in rat bone marrow cells. Finally the mitochondrial D-loop tends to be enriched in the captured mito-nDNA interactions. Collectively our results imply a degree of selective regulation in the identity of the interacting mitochondrial partners confirming that mito-nDNA interactions in mammalian cells are not random.
