What is a mitochondrial nucleoid?
['A naked mtDNA molecule is longer than a typical mitochondrion and is therefore compacted in vivo to form a nucleoprotein complex, denoted the mitochondrial nucleoid.', 'The packaging of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into DNA-protein assemblies called nucleoids provides an efficient segregating unit of mtDNA,', 'Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is organized in nucleoids in complex with accessory proteins, proteins of mtDNA replication and gene expression machinery.', 'The independent mitochondrial genetic information is organized in so-called mitochondrial nucleoids', ' packaging of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into protein-DNA assemblies called nucleoids confers higher-order organization to the mitochondrial genome.', 'mitochondrial DNA is packaged into macromolecular assemblies called nucleoids, composed of one or more copies of mitochondrial DNA and associated proteins. ', 'human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) had long been believed to be rather naked because mitochondria lack histone']
