Abstract excerpt

Coenzyme Q (Q) is a lipid that functions as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain in eukaryotes. There are eight complementation groups of Q-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, designated coq1-coq8. Here we have isolated the COQ6 gene by functional complementation and, in contrast to a previous report, find it is not an essential gene. coq6 mutants are unable to grow on nonfermentable...
