Abstract excerpt
Succinyl-CoA synthetase/ligase (SCS) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the reversible process from succinyl-CoA to succinate and free coenzyme A in TCA cycle. SCS deficiencies are implicated in mitochondrial hepatoencephalomyopathy in humans. To investigate the impact of SCS deficiencies in Drosophila, we generated a null mutation in Scs alpha subunit (Scsα) using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and characterized...
