Abstract excerpt
Several mutations in the mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b have been reported in patients. To characterize their effect, we introduced six "human" mutations, namely G33S, S152P, G252D, Y279C, G291D, and Delta252-259 in the highly similar yeast cytochrome b. G252D showed wild type behavior in standard conditions. However, Asp-252 may interfere with structural lipid and, in consequence, destabilize the enzyme...
