We report here the identification of a cell line containing single and double missense mutations in cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit I gene of mouse mitochondrial DNA. When present in homoplasmy, the single mutant displays a normal complex IV assembly but a significantly reduced COX activity, while the double mutant almost completely compensates the functional defect of the first mutation. We discuss the...
