Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 gene (COX1) in K. lactis K8 mtDNA spans 8,826 bp and contains five exons (termed E1-E5) totalling 1,602 bp that show 88% nucleotide base matching and 91% amino acid homology to the equivalent gene in S. cerevisiae. The four introns (termed K1 cox1.1-1.4) contain open reading frames encoding proteins of 786, 333, 319 and 395 amino acids respectively that potentially encode maturase...
