Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lack a functional MSS51 gene are respiratory deficient due to the absence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (Cox1p). It has been previously suggested, but not formally proven, that Mss51p is required for translational activation of COX1 mRNA, rather than being involved in a subsequent step in the synthesis of Cox1p or its assembly into cytochrome c oxidase. Pulse-chase...
