Abstract excerpt
The mev-1(kn1) mutation of Caenorhabditis elegans is in Cyt-1, which encodes a subunit of succinate-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Mutants are hypersensitive to oxidative stress and age precociously in part because of increased superoxide anion production. Here, we show that mev-1 mutants are defective in succinate-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase, possess ultrastructural...
