Measurement of de novo transcription. (A) In organello transcription of 16-week-old rescue and control hearts, followed by normalization by Northern blotting for the mitochondrial transcripts of ND6. (B) Schematic diagram of the murine mtDNA control region containing tRNAT (T), tRNAP (P), TAS 1 and 2, 7S RNA transcript, 7S DNA fragment, conserved sequence blocks 1–3 (CSB), LSP, HSP and tRNAF (F). (C) S1 protection assay of LSP proximal transcription (7S RNA) and control transcript (ND6) of control (C) and rescue (R) mitochondrial RNA extracts. (D and E) Relative transcript levels normalized to the nuclear 18S rRNA transcript. Levels of the mitochondrial transcripts of COX1 (light grey bars) and ND6 (dark grey bars) and the large mitochondrial ribosomal subunit 16S rRNA (white bars) are shown at 12 (D) and 52 weeks (E). Data are presented as means ± SEM percentage of controls; *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001, respectively.
