Characterization of two novel proteins involved in mitochondrial DNA anchoring

Trypanosoma brucei is a single celled eukaryotic parasite in the group of the Excavates. T. brucei cells harbor a single mitochondrion with a singular mitochondrial genome, that consists of a unique network of thousands of interwoven circular DNA molecule copies and is termed the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA). To ensure proper inheritance of the kDNA to the daughter cells the genome is linked to the…
