Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear gene OXA1, which is conserved from prokaryotes to human, was shown to be essential for cytochrome c oxidase and F1F0-ATP synthase biogenesis. We have searched for an orthologue of OXA1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, another yeast that is highly diverged from S. cerevisiae and which could more closely model higher eukaryotes. In particular, S. pombe exhibits a limited growth...
