Sea urchin egg mitochondrial DNA contains a short displacement loop (D-loop) in the replication origin region.

Based on solution hybridization using single-stranded probes, native mitochondrial DNA extracted from sea urchin eggs contains a displacement-loop (D-loop) of approximately 70-80 nt. This maps to the single extended unassigned sequence of the genome, between the genes for tRNA(thr) and tRNA(pro), which also appears to contain the origin of first-strand replication. The D-loop commences at or close to a site of supercoil-dependent S1 nuclease hypersensitivity, adjacent to a run of 20 consecutive C residues, terminates near to the boundary of tRNA(thr), and appears to be composed at least partly of RNA, based on the sensitivity of the assays to RNase H. These experiments imply that the mechanisms of replication initiation in sea urchin and vertebrate mtDNAs are very similar, and suggest that the developmental restriction on mtDNA synthesis in eggs and embryos is maintained at the level of D-loop extension.
