Representation of the putative mitochondrial segregation apparatus and nucleoid structure in Rhizophagus irregularis. Based on protein orthology analysis with S. cerevisiae and other filamentous fungi. The core components of this machinery consist of a complex of three mitochondrial membrane proteins, which are MMM1, MDM10 and MDM12 (colored in black). Three proteins are thought to interact with the main complex, MMM2, MDM31 and MDM32 (colored in red). The proteins responsible for mtDNA packaging and nucleoid formation are ABF2, ACO1 and ILV5 (colored in brown, blue and green, respectively). Unknown proteins are thought to link the outer membrane complex to the cytoskeleton (colored in orange) and the nucleoids to the inner membrane by interacting with MMM1. The yellow outlining shows proteins for which no putative orthologs were found in R. irregularis (Table 3)
