Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Paracymoriza distinctalis (Leech, 1889) has been determined in this article. The mitochondrial genome of P. distinctalis was 15,354 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and an A + T-rich region. All PCGs start with ATN codon, except for COI, which begins with CGA. Eleven PCGs stop with typical stop codon TAA. But ND5 and COII use incomplete stop codon T. All the 22 tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf structure except for tRNA(Ser)(AGN) lacking the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem. There were several conserved motifs in the intergenic region between tRNA(Ser)(UCN) and ND1 and the A + T-rich region of P. distinctalis.

Resumen

The complete mitochondrial genome of Paracymoriza distinctalis (Leech, 1889) has been determined in this article.

Por qué esto importa para la hirudoterapia

This article reports the complete mitochondrial genome of Paracymoriza distinctalis (Leech, 1889), determined to be 15,354 bp in length and containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A+T-rich region. The abstract describes codon usage patterns, tRNA structures, and conserved intergenic motifs but does not discuss hirudin, leech animals, leech therapy, or the leech secretome. The '(Leech, 1889)' designation is a taxonomic species authority that the abstract does not elaborate on. This article has no relevance to hirudotherapy, the leech secretome, or ASH's domain.
