Abstract excerpt
Defects in ATP synthase functioning due to the substitutions in its two mitochondrially encoded subunits a and 8 lead to untreatable mitochondrial diseases. Defining the character of variants in genes encoding these subunits is challenging due to their low frequency, heteroplasmy of mitochondrial DNA in patients' cells and polymorphisms of mitochondrial genome. We successfully used yeast S. cerevisiae as a model...
