Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase is a key protonmotive component of the respiratory chain. Mutations in the mitochondrially-encoded subunits of the complex have been reported in association with a range of diseases. In this work we used yeast and bacterial mutants to assess the effect of human mutations in subunit 1 (L196I) and subunit 3 (G78S, A200T, Delta F94-F98, F251L and W249Stop). While the stop mutation...
