Abstract excerpt
Primary fibroblasts established from embryos of NAD-dependent mitochondrial methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase (NMDMC) knockout mice were spontaneously immortalized or transformed with SV40 Large T antigen. Mitotracker Red CMXRos staining of the cells indicates the presence of intact mitochondria with a membrane potential. The nmdmc(-/-) cells are auxotrophic for glycine, demonstrating that...
