Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that continously fuse and divide. This behaviour is important for content mixing and mitochondrial quality control. I am interested whether mtDNA replication and transcription rates are changed in mitochondria with altered morphology (e. g., fragmented mitochondria or hyperfused mitochondria). I didn't find much information on this issue in the literature. Maybe you know some papers that could help me with my question?
Hi Christian,
Sorry, I have no information about this subject. I'am just getting into the issue of biomolecules hydration. Probably, I will be looking for similar information very soon, because I am interested in the celular changes in bacteria under high pressures (low temperatures).

please see Bernard Tandler and collaborators of Cleveland Ohio, Case Western Reserve Univ they published about mitochondria a lot
Good question.
I would say YES, there is a relationship betwaeen both processes.
Have a quick look to this paper and references herein. It may shed light into your doubts.

Good luck Christian
Thank you very much, Josema! I am looking forward to read the paper you sent me.
With best regards,
Christian
