Abstract excerpt
Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q or Q) is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in eukaryotic cells. There are eight complementation groups of Q-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants designated coq1-coq8. Here we report that COQ8 is ABC1 (for Activity of bc(1) complex), which was originally isolated as a multicopy suppressor of a cytochrome b mRNA translation defect (Bousquet, I., Dujardin, G.,...
