Mutation D104G in ANT1 gene: complementation study in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the human ANT1 gene, coding for the ADP/ATP carrier, are responsible for the autosomal dominant and recessive forms of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, mitochondrial disorders characterized by the presence of multiple deletions of mitochondrial DNA in affected tissues. By introducing these mutations at equivalent position in AAC2, the yeast orthologue of ANT1, we created a suitable model for...
