Decreasing mitochondrial RNA polymerase activity reverses biased inheritance of hypersuppressive mtDNA

<jats:p>Faithful inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is crucial for cellular respiration/oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial membrane potential. However, how mtDNA is transmitted to progeny is not fully understood. We utilized hypersuppressive mtDNA, a class of respiratory deficie...
