Abstract

See full text

Described herein is a mitochondrial-targeted RNA expression system (mtTRES) for delivery of RNA molecules to mitochondria. mtTRES vectors generate RNAs in vivo that are un-capped, non-polyadenylated, and actively directed to mitochondria. The disclosed vectors are capable of delivering either non-coding RNA molecules or RNA molecules encoding a protein of interest to the mitochondria. In particular, the disclosed vectors include (1) an RNAPIII initiation (promoter) sequence, (2) a non-coding leader sequence (NCL), (3) a mitochondrial translation initiation sequence and an ORF encoding a protein of interest, or a sequence encoding a non-coding RNA, and (4) an RNAPIII termination sequence.
