Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial citrate synthase (mCS) is the initial enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Despite the key position of this protein in respiratory metabolism, very few studies have addressed the question of the effects of the absence of mCS in development. Here we report on the characterization of 15 point mutations and a complete deletion of the cit1 gene, which encodes mCS in the filamentous fungus...
