Mitochondrial biogenesis within muscle consists of two possible mutually inclusive alterations: [ 1 ] an increase in mitochondrial content per gram of tissue and/or [ 2 ] a change in mitochondrial composition, with an alteration in mitochondrial protein-to-lipid ratio (4).ne of the most fascinating aspects of mitochondrial synthesis is that it requires the cooperation of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes (Figure-1). Mitochondria are unique in the fact that they house multiple copies of a small circular DNA molecule (mtDNA) comprising 16,659 nucleotides.
Mitochondria are semi-autonomous in that they are only partially dependent on the cell to replicate and grow. They have their own DNA, ribosomes, make their own proteins, and have some control over their reproduction. Similar to bacteria, mitochondria have circular DNA and replicate by a reproductive process called binary fission. Prior to replication, mitochondria merge together in a process called fusion. Fusion is needed in order to maintain stability, as without it, mitochondria will get smaller as they divide.
