Abstract excerpt
Nam9p is a protein of the mitochondrial ribosome. The respiration-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MB43-nam9-1 expresses Nam9-1p containing the point mutation S82L. Respiratory deficiency correlates with a decrease in the steady level of some mitochondrially encoded proteins and the complete lack of mitochondrially encoded cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 (Cox2). De novo synthesis of Cox2 in MB43-nam9-1 is...
