General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.21.53 physiological function reduction of Lon to less than 10% of its normal level in Drosophila Schneider cells by RNAi knockdown results in increased abundance of mitochondrial transcription factor A, TFAM, and mitochondrial DNA copy number. In a corollary manner, overexpression of Lon reduces TFAM levels and mt DNA copy number. Induction of mitochondrial DNA depletion in Lon knockdown cells does not result in degradation of TFAM, thereby causing a dramatic increase in the TFAM:mitochondrial DNA ratio. The increased TFAM:mitochondrial DNA ratio in turn causes inhibition of mitochondrial transcription Drosophila melanogaster
