Abstract excerpt
Cardiolipin (CL) is a dimeric phospholipid localized primarily in the mitochondrial membrane. Previous studies have shown that yeast cells containing a disruption of CRD1, the structural gene encoding CL synthase, exhibit temperature-sensitive colony formation and multiple mitochondrial defects. A recent report (Zhang, M., Su, X., Mileykovskaya, E., Amoscato, A. A., and Dowhan, W. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278,...
