Abstract excerpt
The Cox6 subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome oxidase (COX) and the Atp9 subunit of the ATP synthase are encoded in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, respectively. The two proteins interact to form Atco complexes that serve as the source of Atp9 for ATP synthase assembly. To determine if Atco is also a precursor of COX, we pulse-labeled Cox6 in isolated mitochondria of a cox6 nuclear mutant with COX6 in...
