Abstract excerpt
SHY1 codes for a mitochondrial protein required for full expression of cytochrome oxidase (COX) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mutations in the homologous human gene (SURF1) have been reported to cause Leigh's syndrome, a neurological disease associated with COX deficiency. The function of Shy1p/Surf1p is poorly understood. Here we have characterized revertants of shy1 null mutants carrying extragenic nuclear...
