Crucial Mitochondrial Impairment upon CDC48 Mutation in Apoptotic Yeast
6 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Mutation in CDC48 (cdc48(S565G)), a gene essential in the endo-plasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway, led to the discovery of apoptosis as a mechanism of cell death in the unicellular organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Elucidating Cdc48p-mediated apoptosis in yeast is of particular interest, because Cdc48p is the highly conserved yeast orthologue of human valosin-containing protein...
