Genes for mitochondrial proteins are known to be encoded in both nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs). So, it is important to elucidate whether the nucleus and mitochondria can function in harmony in cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) and reconstituted cells in which the nucleus and mitochondria are of different species. Transfer of chloramphenicol-resistant (CApr) cytoplasm to whole cells of different species was extremely difficult [11; this may be due to the incomplete cooperation of the products of nuclear DNA and mtDNAs of different species [11. However, viable interspecific reconstituted cells could be isolated by the fusion of human karyoplasts to CAP’mouse cytoplasts [21. mtDNA species of the cells were identified by a difference in buoyant densities of the mtDNAs of the parent cells [2]. However, this identification technique is applicable only to mtDNA species having buoyant densities sufficiently different to be clearly distinguished. We developed another procedure for identification of mtDNA species in culture cells using restriction endonuclease. This procedure has many advantages:(i) It requires< Ol ml packed cells (~ 2 X 10’cells) without labelling;(ii) The cleavage patterns of the mtDNAs are speciesspecific [3], and even intraspecifically different mtDNAs can be clearly distinguished [4-61;(iii) Sequence identification of mtDNAs is unambiguous.
