Abstract excerpt
The yeast mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replicase Mip1 has been used as a model to generate five mutations equivalent to POLG mutations associated with a broad spectrum of diseases in human. All mip1 mutations, alone or in combination in cis or in trans, increase mtDNA instability as measured by petite frequency and Ery(R) mutant accumulation. This phenotype is associated with decreased Mip1 levels in mitochondrial...
