Abstract excerpt
The maternally inherited [exn-5] mutant of Neurospora crassa is characterized by its slow-growth rate and deficiency of cytochrome aa3 relative to wild-type strains. We have determined the DNA sequence of the COXI and COXII genes of the mutant, which encode subunits 1 and 2 of cytochrome c oxidase, respectively. No changes in the DNA sequence of the COXI gene relative to the corresponding wild-type gene were...
