Abstract excerpt
Ilv5p is a bifunctional yeast mitochondrial enzyme required for branched chain amino acid biosynthesis and for the stability of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and its parsing into nucleoids. The latter occurs when the general amino acid control (GAC) pathway is activated. We have isolated ilv5 mutants that lack either the enzymatic (a(-)D(+)) or the mtDNA stability function (a(+)D(-)) of the protein. The affected...
