The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a widely recognized model used to study mitochondrial biogenesis. Since yeast is an anaerobic, facultative organism, it is possible to extensively study the causes and consequences of introducing mutations that impair respiration. In addition, this organism possesses friendly genetic and biochemical tools to study mitochondrial pathways. However, one of the most powerful resources to explore the mechanisms of respiratory complex assembly and mitochondrial protein synthesis is the ability to transform mitochondria and modify the organelle&#39;s genome. Previously, it has been helpful to introduce in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations or small deletions/insertions1,2,3,4,5, delete genes6,7, make gene rearrangements7,8, add epitopes to mitochondrial proteins9,10, relocate genes from the nucleus to the mitochondria11,12, and introduce reporter genes like BarStar13, GFP14,15, luciferase16, and the most widely used ARG8m17,18. Mitochondrial genome modifications have allowed us to dissect and identify mechanisms that otherwise would have been difficult to comprehend. For example, the ARG8m reporter gene inserted at the COX1 locus&#160;in the mitochondrial DNA was crucial to understanding that Mss51 has a dual role in Cox1 biogenesis. First, it is a translational activator of the COX1 mRNA, and second, it is an assembly chaperone for the newly made Cox1 protein7,19. This work presents a detailed method to transform S. cerevisiae mitochondria. Although the mitochondrial transformation protocol was published earlier16,20,21,22,23, a visual approach through a video is essential to thoroughly understand the different stages and details of the method. The method consists of various steps and is divided into four general stages:
<img alt="Figure 1" class="xfigimg" src="/files/ftp_upload/66856/66856fig01v2.jpg" /> 
Figure 1: Overview of the mitochondrial transformation procedure by high-velocity microprojectile bombardment: 1) The tungsten particles are sterilized and prepared before DNA coating. 2) Two different plasmids are precipitated on the surface of the WPs. One is a bacterial plasmid containing the construct that will be directed to the mitochondrial matrix. The other is a nuclear yeast expression vector carrying an auxotrophy marker. 3) A receptor yeast strain lacking mitochondrial DNA (rho0) is grown on a fermentative carbon source like galactose or raffinose, which does not exert any glucose repression of mitochondrial gene expression34,35. The culture is spread on petri dishes containing the bombardment medium. 4) WPs coated with plasmids are shot to the receptor strain by high-velocity microprojectile bombardment. 5) Positive synthetic rho- colonies containing the mitochondrial plasmid are selected by mating to a tester strain. 6) The mitochondrial construct is integrated into the mitochondrial genome at the desired locus by mating the synthetic rho- strain (donor) with the acceptor strain by a process known as cytoduction. 7) The positive receptor, haploid strain carrying the mitochondrial construct is selected and purified in different media.

Transformation of cells with the DNA construct intended to integrate into the mitochondrial genome (Figure 1, steps 1-4) 
Although it is possible to directly transform a yeast containing a complete mitochondrial genome (rho+), the transformation is 10-20x more efficient if the cells lack mitochondrial DNA (rho0)24. Tungsten particles (WPs) are coated with two different plasmids that will be co-transformed. The first one is a yeast 2 &#181; expression vector carrying an auxotrophy marker, such as LEU2 or URA3 (e.g., YEp351 or YEp352, respectively). If the biolistic introduction of DNA into the yeast cells is successful, the transformants will grow on the auxotrophy medium (i.e., a medium lacking leucine or uracil). This plasmid is helpful in making the first selection of the cells that acquired the nuclear plasmid; otherwise, the number of resulting colonies would saturate the plate. The second plasmid is a bacterial plasmid (such as pBluescript or similar) containing the mitochondrial construction intended to be integrated into the mitochondrial genome. The construct must contain at least 100 nt of 5&#39; and 3&#39; flanking mitochondrial sequences for recombination with the mitochondrial region of interest. In our experience, larger flanking sequences are more likely to successfully recombine with the target locus in the mitochondrial genome.
A specific example is shown in Figure 225. In this example, the aim was to delete the region of the mitochondrial COX1 gene coding for the last 15 amino acids of the corresponding protein (Cox1&#916;C15) (Figure 2A). The bacterial plasmid carrying the COX1&#916;C15 mutation contained 395 nt and 990 nt of the gene&#39;s 5&#39; and 3&#39; untranslated regions, respectively. The plasmid was derived from pBluescript (pXPM61) and, together with the 2 &#181; plasmid YEp352, they were coprecipitated on the surface of WPs (Figure 2B). The WPs were then introduced by microprojectile bombardment into the selected recipient strain (Figure 2C). This strain, named NAB6926, is a MATa, rho0 strain bearing the kar1-1 and ade2 alleles&#160;(the importance of these characteristics is discussed below). The cells were plated on bombardment media lacking uracil to select those that acquired the 2 &#181; plasmid (Figure 2C). Cells were grown for 5-7 nights at 30 &#176;C.
Selection of the cells that acquired the bacterial plasmid containing the mitochondrial construct and the nuclear 2 &#181; plasmid carrying the auxotrophy marker (Figure 1, step 5) 
The positive colonies will maintain many copies of the bacterial plasmid in their mitochondria22. Since the transformed cells are originally rho0, no mitochondrial sequences support the translation of the mitochondrial construct present in the plasmid; hence, the transformed mitochondrial gene will not be expressed. It is necessary to mate the transformants with a tester strain to detect the yeast colonies that acquired the mitochondrial plasmid. The mitochondrial genome of the tester strain contains a nonfunctional mutated version of the gene of interest. After mating, the mitochondria will fuse, and the mitochondrial sequence included in the transformed plasmid will recombine with the mutated mitochondrial gene from the tester strain; consequently, the recovery of the WT gene will reconstitute function. The resulting diploid will have a detectable positive phenotype (usually the capacity to grow in respiratory medium or a medium lacking arginine). The positive cells carrying the bacterial plasmid in mitochondria are named &#34;synthetic rho- cells&#34;. In the specific example of Figure 2D,&#160;synthetic rho- cells carrying the COX1&#916;C15 construct (named XPM199) were replica-plated on a medium lacking uracil (this is the master plate from which positive colonies were purified). They were also replica-plated on a tester strain L4527 lawn, which contains the nonfunctional mutation cox1D369N. After mating for two nights, the mitochondrial genome of L45 and XPM199 recombined, resulting in a functional COX1 gene; therefore, the diploids recovered the ability to grow on respiratory media. From the master plate, we picked the positive colonies. They were streaked on plates lacking uracil, and the selective tests were repeated to obtain pure synthetic rho- cells (Figure 2E). It is important to note that the testing plate is only for the identification of synthetic rho- colonies, and mutants cannot be recovered from these plates.
Integration of the construct into the mitochondrial genome of the intended strain 
This step is achieved by a process called cytoduction28,29 (Figure 1, step 6). In this approach, the synthetic rho- strain (donor strain) is mated to the intended acceptor strain of the opposite mating type. An essential requirement is that at least one of the two mating strains carries the kar1-1 mutation to impede nuclear fusion30. Hence, mating of the two cells produces a binucleated zygote (Figure 3). The mitochondrial network from the parental cells (donor and acceptor) fuse and the mitochondrial DNA molecules recombine. The binucleated zygotes are incubated/recovered to allow budding, which will produce haploid cells. These haploids carry the nuclear background of one of the parental cells. Similarly, haploids can carry the mitochondrial DNA from either the parental cell or the recombined mitochondrial DNA of interest. However, the kar1-1 mutation is not 100% effective, and some true diploids will be formed during the mating28,29. The synthetic rho- strain (donor, XPM199) carried the kar1-1 allele in the example. As a selective marker, it had the ade2 allele, making it an auxotroph for adenine (Figure 4). The acceptor strain was XPM10, a rho+ strain bearing the cox1&#916;::ARG8m&#160;construct, where the reporter ARG8m&#160;replaced the COX1 codons in the mitochondrial genome7. The mixture of both cell cultures was added to a YPD plate as a drop to allow mating. After 3-5 h, the cells were observed under a light microscope to detect the formation of shmoos (Figure 3B), a cell shape associated with mating. After the incubation/recovery time, the binuclear zygotes were plated on a medium lacking adenine to prevent the growth of the donor cells.
Selection of the haploid strain carrying the mitochondrial genome of interest (Figure 1, step 7) 
A mixture of donor, acceptor, and diploid cells is present after cytoduction. Therefore, after the incubation/recovery of the binucleated zygotes, cells must be grown in different selective media to identify and purify the haploids of interest. The selective media depends on the genotypes of the donor, acceptor strains, and the intended mitochondrial construction. However, in general, the reasoning for choosing the selective media is: i) after incubation/recovery, the cytoduction mix is grown on selective medium where the donor parental strain cannot grow. In the specific example in Figure 4A,B, the donor (synthetic rho- strain) carries the nonfunctional ade2 allele. Thus, the cytoduction mix must be incubated on a medium plate lacking adenine. This is the master plate. ii) Once the colonies grow, the master plate is replicated again on a medium lacking adenine (to generate a new master plate from where the positive colonies of interest will be purified), and next, on a medium where only diploids can grow. This is necessary to avoid further inadvertent purification of diploid colonies. In the case of the example from Figure 4C, only diploids can grow on media lacking leucine. iii) The master plate is also replicated on media where only those acceptor haploids that incorporated the mitochondrial DNA of interest will grow. In the example of Figure 4C,&#160;haploids grow on respiratory media containing ethanol/glycerol as a carbon source since the Cox1&#916;C15 protein is functional. The resulting rho+ strain bearing the mtDNA of interest was named XPM20925. The strains used in Figure&#160;2 and Figure 4 are listed in Table 1.

Figure 2: Diagram describing a specific example of mitochondrial transformation and selection of positive rho- cells. (A) The intended modification of the mitochondrial genome was a deletion of the region coding for the last 15 amino acids of the Cox1 subunit (Cox1&#916;C15). (B) WPs were coated with two plasmids to transform yeast cells. One was the 2 &#181; plasmid Yep352 that was directed and expressed in the nucleus. The other was plasmid pXPM61, which contains the COX1&#916;C15 allele plus 395 nt and 990 nt of the COX1 5&#39; and 3&#39;-UTRs, respectively. (C) The WPs were introduced into cells from the strain NAB69, which lacks mitochondrial DNA (rho0 strain). Transformant colonies obtained from the bombardment plates were replicated on a medium lacking uracil, the auxotrophic marker of the nuclear plasmid YEp352. (D) To select the positive rho- colonies, the -URA plate was replicated on a media lacking uracil. This was the master plate from which the positive colonies were picked and isolated. It was also replicated on plates with rich media (YPD) and a lawn of a tester strain. During mating, the synthetic rho- mitochondrial DNA was recombined with the mitochondrial DNA from the tester strain, L4527, which carries a mutation in the COX1 gene (D369N). The diploids that grew on respiratory media contained the transformed DNA. The corresponding colonies were picked from the master plate to restreak and purify. To help identify the positive colonies in the master plate throughout all replica plating, marks were made with a permanent marker on the edges of the plates (green lines). (E) The selected positive colonies were restreaked on a medium lacking uracil. This was the new master plate. As in D, two more rounds of testing were carried out to purify the synthetic rho- colonies.

After some incubation/recovery time, the binuclear zygotes bud and haploid acceptors containing the intended mitochondrial mutation are selected.

Our research explores the regulation of mitochondrial protein synthesis and its connection to inner membrane assembly, crucial for oxidative phosphorylation. Using the model, we study the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial function, leveraging its suitability for detailed molecular and genetic investigations. Many technologies are used for research in our field, like RNA deep sequencing, multiomic technologies, cryo-electron microscopy, high-velocity bombardment to transform gene mitochondria, among others.We have made important contributions to understand the role and mechanisms of action of many proteins involved in mitochondrial translation regulation and on respiratory complexes III and IV assembly. This is the case for proteins like Mss51, Pet309, Pet54, mS38, CPP3, CPP6, among others. This protocol is an indispensable tool for understanding how mitoribosomes find the STARD-CHOL mitochondrial mRNAs.It has been the key to understanding the role of specific nucleotides of mitochondrial mRNAs in translation regulation. These are some examples of what this technique can address. The only available resource to mitochondrial sequences and to use translation of the in the mitochondrial DNA is our protocol, high-velocity bombardment transformation of gene mitochondria.This method has provided invaluable information regarding translation and respiratory complexes assembly that otherwise we could not obtain.

Mitochondrial Transformation in Baker&#39;s Yeast to Study Translation and Respiratory Complex Assembly

Baker&#180;s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used to understand mitochondrial biology for decades. This model has provided knowledge about essential, conserved mitochondrial pathways among eukaryotes, and fungi or yeast-specific pathways. One of the many abilities of S. cerevisiae is the capacity to manipulate the mitochondrial genome, which so far is only possible in S. cerevisiae and the unicellular algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The biolistic transformation of yeast mitochondria allows us to introduce site-directed mutations, make gene rearrangements, and introduce reporters. These approaches are mainly used to understand the mechanisms of two highly coordinated processes in mitochondria: translation by mitoribosomes and assembly of respiratory complexes and ATP synthase. However, mitochondrial transformation can potentially be used to study other pathways. In the present work, we show how to transform yeast mitochondria by high-velocity microprojectile bombardment, select and purify the intended transformant, and introduce the desired mutation in the mitochondrial genome.

This work explains how to transform yeast mitochondria using a biolistic method. We also show how to select and purify the transformants and how to introduce the desired mutation in the target position within the mitochondrial genome.

Material Preparation for Biolistic Transformation of Yeast 

To begin, add 1.5 milliliters of 70%ethanol to 30 milligrams of 0.7-micrometer tungsten particles in a microtube. Centrifuge the mixture at 13, 200G for 15 minutes. Add 1.5 milliliters of sterile water to the particles, then vortex and centrifuge again.After discarding the supernatant, add 500 microliters of sterile 50%glycerol to the tungsten particles. To coat the particles, first add five micrograms of a two-micron plasmid and 15 micrograms of a bacterial plasmid containing the mitochondrial sequence into a microtube placed on ice. Add 100 microliters of the tungsten particle suspension to the tube and vortex.Then add four microliters of one-molar spermidine and vortex again. Now pipette 100 microliters of ice cold 2.5-molar calcium chloride into the tube. After briefly vortexing the suspension, incubate it on ice for 10 minutes.Centrifuge the tungsten particles at 13, 200G for 30 seconds at four degrees Celsius. Then, wash the particles in 200 microliters of 100%ethanol at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Finally, re-suspend the tungsten particles in 60 to 70 microliters of room temperature 100%ethanol.To prepare the biolistic materials, place six sterilized macrocarrier holders on a sterile glass plate. Use a pair of sterile forceps to insert the macrocarriers into each of the six macrocarrier holders. Pipette 10 microliters of the DNA-coded tungsten particles onto each macrocarrier surface and evenly distribute over the entire surface with the pipette tip.Inoculate the rho zero yeast receptor strain in two milliliters of YPR medium. Grow the culture overnight at 30 degrees Celsius in a rotating wheel. The next day, transfer 300 microliters of the culture into a tube containing 30 milliliters of fresh YPR medium.Place the culture on a rotary shaker for two nights at 30 degrees Celsius and 200 revolutions per minute until the culture is saturated. Centrifuge the yeast cells at 600G for five minutes at room temperature. Re-suspend the cells in 600 microliters of YPD medium after discarding the supernatant.Now use a sterile glass handle to spread 100 microliters of the yeast cell suspension on a solid bombardment medium plate. After spreading all the cultures, incubate the plates at room temperature for one to three hours before bombardment.

Generation of a Synthetic Yeast Rho- Strain by Biolistic Transformation for Mutagenetic Studies

To begin, add 70%ethanol to the chamber of the biolistic particle delivery system. After 15 minutes, wipe the ethanol with a clean paper towel. Open the helium tank valves to set a pressure of 2, 000 pounds per square inch.Next, use a pair of sterile forceps to place a rupture disc on the retaining cap, and screw the retaining cap on the acceleration tube. Use a pair of forceps to place a macrocarrier facing down on the macrocarrier holder, then screw the macrocarrier lid on top of the macrocarrier. Place the microcarrier launch system inside the vacuum chamber at the fifth level from the bottom.Then, place a plate containing the rho zero strain lawn on the second level from the bottom of the chamber. Put the vacuum vent hold switch in the vacuum position. When the vacuum reaches 20 to 21 inches of mercury, change the vacuum vent hold switch to the hold position.Press the fire switch to shoot the tungsten particles. When the pressure reaches 1, 300 pounds per square inch, the rupture disc will break, making a pop sound. Immediately after the rupture disc breaks, change the vacuum vent hold switch to the vent position to release the fire switch and the vacuum.Use sterile forceps to carefully remove any debris from the rupture disc present on the surface of the plate. Then cover the plate with its lid.

Selection of Yeast Synthetic Rho- Colonies for Mutagenetic Studies

To begin, incubate the biolistic bombardment plates of yeast at 30 degrees Celsius for five to seven nights. Inoculate the tester strain of the opposite mating type in two milliliters of YPD medium overnight. The next day, transfer 150 microliters of the tester strain culture on a YPD plate.With a sterile glass handle, spread the tester evenly on the plate's surface and let it air dry. Use velvet replicating pads and a replicator stamp to make a master plate replica of the transformed plasmid auxotrophy marker on drop-out medium plate. Then, replicate on the YPD plate containing the tester's lawn and incubate.After 48 hours, replicate the plate containing the tester on a selective medium to detect the presence of the mitochondrial gene of interest. Compare the master plate and the corresponding colonies to identify the positive colonies. Streak the positive colonies from the master plate onto a second selective drop-out plate.The tester lawn and the transformant cells mated and resulted in infused mitochondria. Purified positive synthetic rho-colonies were obtained from URA plates. Some positive synthetic rho-colonies lost the mitochondrial construct.

Integration of the Construct Present in the Synthetic Rho- Strain into the Yeast Mitochondrial Genome by Cytoduction

To begin, inoculate two tubes containing three milliliters of YPD media with the synthetic rho minus cells and the acceptor yeast cells. The next day, transfer 750 microliters of the donor strain and 250 microliters of the receptor strain into a sterile microtube. After centrifuging the mixture for one minute at 13, 200G, transfer a drop of the cell pellet onto a YPD plate and incubate.Check the culture under a light microscope for the presence of shmoos. If shmoos are present, re-suspend a small amount of the cell mass in two milliliters of YPD medium. Incubate the culture for two hours at 30 degrees Celsius in a rotating wheel.Vortex the mixture well. Then dilute 10 microliters of the cell suspension in 990 microliters of sterile water. Spread 100 microliters of the diluted culture on a drop-out medium that facilitates the growth of only the acceptor strain.Replicate the resulting colonies on the necessary selective media. After identifying positive colonies, re-streak them on the same selective media to purify the haploid strain carrying the mitochondrial DNA of interest.
