Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene SURF1 prevent synthesis of cytochrome-c oxidase (COX)-specific assembly protein and result in a fatal neurological disorder, Leigh syndrome. Because this severe COX deficiency presents with barely detectable changes of cellular respiratory rates under normoxic conditions, we analyzed the respiratory response to low oxygen in cultured fibroblasts harboring SURF1 mutations with high-resolution...
