Mitochondrial DNA. 2015;26(5):791-2. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.855755. Epub 2014 Jan 10.
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Linnaeus Gonepteryx rhamni (Lepidoptera: Pieridae: Coliadinae) is a circular molecule of 15,023 bp in length, containing 37 typical coding genes and one non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and content are identical to the common type found in most insect mitogenomes. All protein coding genes (PCGs) start with a typical ATN initiation codon, except for the cox1, which use CGA as its start codon. Nine genes use standard complete termination codon (TAA), whereas the cox1, cox2, nad4 and nad5 genes end with single T. Except for trnS1(AGN), all tRNA genes display typical secondary cloverleaf structures as those of other insects. Additionally, the 371 bp long AT-rich region contains a few structures common to the other lepidopterons, such as the motif ATAGA followed by a 17 bp poly-T stretch, a microsatellite-like (AT)10 element preceded by the ATTTA motif, and a 10 bp poly-A presented immediately upstream of trnM gene.
菜粉蝶（鳞翅目：粉蝶科：黄粉蝶亚科）的完整线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）是一个长度为15,023 bp的环状分子，包含37个典型的编码基因和一个富含AT的非编码区。其基因顺序和内容与大多数昆虫线粒体基因组中发现的常见类型相同。所有蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）均以典型的ATN起始密码子开始，但细胞色素氧化酶亚基1（cox1）使用CGA作为其起始密码子。九个基因使用标准的完全终止密码子（TAA），而cox1、cox2、烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸脱氢酶亚基4（nad4）和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸脱氢酶亚基5（nad5）基因以单个T结尾。除了丝氨酸转运RNA1（AGN）（trnS1(AGN)）外，所有转运RNA基因都显示出与其他昆虫典型的二级三叶草结构。此外，371 bp长的富含AT的区域包含一些其他鳞翅目昆虫共有的结构，例如基序ATAGA后接17 bp的多聚T序列、在ATTTA基序之前的微卫星样（AT）10元件，以及在trnM基因紧邻上游出现的10 bp多聚A。
