Abstract excerpt
Sco (for the synthesis of cytochrome c oxidase) is a mitochondrial membrane protein essential for the correct assembly of cytochrome c oxidase. sco homolog genes exist in a wide variety of bacterial species. Inactivation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens sco leads to markedly decreased cytochrome c oxidase activity. This phenotype can be complemented by either supplementing the culture medium with copper or by a...
