Abstract excerpt
Yme1p, an ATP-dependent protease localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane, is required for the growth of yeast lacking an intact mitochondrial genome. Specific dominant mutations in the genes encoding the alpha- and gamma-subunits of the mitochondrial F(1)F(0)-ATPase suppress the slow-growth phenotype of yeast that simultaneously lack Yme1p and mitochondrial DNA. F(1)F(0)-ATPase activity is reduced in yeast...
