Abstract excerpt
Analysis of a mutant strain of Drosophila subobscura revealed that most (80%) mitochondrial genomes have undergone a large scale deletion (5 kb) in the coding region. Compared with the wild-type strain, complex I and III activities are, respectively, reduced by 50% and 30% in the mutant. However, the ATP synthesis capacities remain unchanged. In order to elucidate how the ATP synthesis is maintained at a normal...
