Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae of a gene associated with cytoplasmic male sterility from maize: respiratory dysfunction and uncoupling of yeast mitochondria.

Abstract excerpt

We asked whether the mitochondrial T-urf13 gene, associated with the male sterility phenotype of T cytoplasm in maize, can be expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and whether this expression can mimic the effects observed in maize. We introduced the universal code equivalent of the T-urf13 gene into the S. cerevisiae nucleus by transformation and directed its translation product into mitochondria by means of a...
