Abstract excerpt
We have created and analyzed the properties of a yeast model of the human mitochondrial DNA T8993C mutation that has been associated with maternally-inherited Leigh syndrome and/or with neurogenic muscle weakness, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa. This mutation changes a highly conserved leucine to proline in the Atp6p subunit of the ATP synthase, at position 156 in the human protein, position 183 in yeast. In...
