The characteristics of a system for the in vitro synthesis of mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) in mitochondria isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae are described. In this system the exclusive product of the reaction is mtDNA. Under optimal conditions the initial rate of synthesis is close to the calculated in vivo rate; the rate is approximately linear for 20 min but then decreases gradually with time. DNA synthesis proceeds for at least 60 min and the de novo synthesis of an amount of mtDNA equivalent to 15% of the mtDNA initially present is achieved. The rate and extent of synthesis observed with mitochondria isolated from grande and petite (rho(-)) strains were similar. The mode of DNA synthesis is semiconservative; after density labeling with 5-bromodeoxyuridine triphosphate, in vitro, the majority of labeled DNA fragments of duplex molecular weight, 6 x 10(6), are of a density close to that calculated for hybrid yeast mtDNA. The density label is incorporated into one strand of the duplex molecules. These properties indicate that the synthesis resembles replicative rather than repair synthesis. This system therefore provides a convenient method for the study of mtDNA synthesis in S. cerevisiae. The observation that mtDNA synthesis is semiconservative in vitro suggests that the dispersive mode of synthesis observed in S. cerevisiae in vivo labeling studies is the result of some other process, possibly a high recombination rate.
