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 provide genetic evidence that several of the Coq polypeptides interact with one another. Deletions in any of the COQ genes affect the steady-state expression of Coq3p, Coq4p, and...
