Kinetoplast
kinetoplast. A poly-kDNA kinetoplast is similar in kDNA structure to a pro-kDNA kinetoplast. It contains little catenation and no supercoiling.

Kinetoplastida
Mitochondrion and kinetoplast DNA
The kinetoplast, after which the class is named, is a dense DNA-containing granule within the cell's single mitochondrion Other cytoskeletal structures include the specialised attachment between the flagellum and the kinetoplast.

What's the use of RNA editing in kinetoplast? The genes of the mitochondrion (kinetoplast) of some _Kinetoplastida_ \- e.g. Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite which causes African sleeping sickness - are "encoded" in a ...
You could have asked a similar question about splicing. The function of RNA editing seems to be similar: it's one of the ways to trigger production of alternative transcripts and proteins given the same DNA sequence. The question is discussed, for example, in this review. The authors describe differ...

Novymonas
The nucleus is centrally located, and in front of it is the kinetoplast. The kinetoplast is arranged in a compact disk which measures between 553 and 938 nm in diameter and 114 to 213 nm in cross section.

Strigomonas culicis
organelle not only by supplying essential enzymes, but also by replacing paraflagellar rod associated to the axoneme, thus, intimately associated with the kinetoplast During cell division, as the kinetoplast of the host divides so do the bacterium. The host cell controls the number of bacterial division.

Trypanosoma brucei
The cytoskeletal structure extends from the basal body to the kinetoplast. Kinetoplast DNA undergoes synthesis then the kinetoplast divides coupled with separation of the two basal bodies.
