Figure 3. Loss of TEFM impairs mtDNA transcription elongation and decreases steady‐state levels of promotor‐distal transcripts.

  • A
    Schematic linear map of mouse mtDNA indicating the relative position of mtRNA transcripts analyzed by northern blot.
  • B–E
    Northern blot analyses (B and D) and relative quantification (C and E) of mtRNA transcripts in control and Tefm knockout mouse hearts at the age of 4 and 8 weeks (n = 12 mice at each time‐point for each group). 18S rRNA and 5.8S rRNA were used as loading controls, respectively.
