containing several mtDNA molecules. The distribution of nucleoids during mitochondrial
fission and fusion events and during cytokinesis is important to the segregation of
mitochondrial genomes in heteroplasmic cells bearing a mixture of wild-type and mutant
mtDNA molecules. We report fractionation of HeLa cell mtDNA nucleoids into two subsets of
complexes that differ in their sedimentation velocity and their association with cytoskeletal …
