Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles with their own genome and crucial to cellular material and energy metabolism. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of a lipid-producing basidiomycetous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides NP11. The mitochondrial genome of R. toruloides NP11 was assembled into a circular DNA molecule of 125937bp, encoding 15 proteins, 28 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNA subunits and 10 open reading frames with unknown function. The G + C content (41%) of the mitochondrial genome is substantially lower than that of the nuclear genome (62%) of R. toruloides NP11. Further reanalysis of the transcriptome data confirmed the transcription of four mitochondrial genes. The comparison of the mitochondrial genomes of R. toruloides NP11 and NBRC0880 revealed a significant genetic divergence. These data can complement our understanding of the genetic background of R. toruloides and provide fundamental information for further genetic engineering of this strain.
线粒体是具有自身基因组的半自主细胞器,对细胞物质和能量代谢至关重要。在这里,我们报道了产脂担子菌红酵母 NP11 的完整线粒体基因组。红酵母 NP11 的线粒体基因组组装成一个 125937bp 的圆形 DNA 分子,编码 15 种蛋白质、28 种转移 RNA、2 个核糖体 RNA 亚基和 10 个具有未知功能的开放阅读框。线粒体基因组的 G+C 含量(41%)明显低于红酵母 NP11 的核基因组(62%)。对转录组数据的进一步分析证实了 4 个线粒体基因的转录。红酵母 NP11 和 NBRC0880 的线粒体基因组比较显示出显著的遗传分化。这些数据可以补充我们对红酵母 NP11 遗传背景的理解,并为该菌株的进一步遗传工程提供基础信息。
