Abstract excerpt
Subunit Va of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome c oxidase is a nucleus-encoded mitochondrial protein that is derived from a precursor with a 20-residue leader peptide. We previously reported that this leader peptide is required for import of subunit Va into mitochondria in vivo (S. M. Glaser, C. E. Trueblood, L. K. Dircks, R. O. Poyton, and M. G. Cumsky, J. Cell. Biochem. 36:275-278, 1988). Here we show that...
