Abstract excerpt

The Varkud satellite (VS) plasmid, which requires the Varkud (V) plasmid for replication, is found in the mitochondria of several natural isolates of Neurospora. The VS transcript is sufficiently abundant that it might be expected to alter the function of mitochondria; however, previous limited characterization revealed no effect. In this work we have used genetic, biochemical and proteomic approaches to search...
