Abstract excerpt
An amino acid polymorphism in the Rad2/XPG protein Mkt1 (Mkt1-G30D) reportedly underlies variation in mitochondrial phenotypes among laboratory yeast, but the function of Mkt1 and the effects of the polymorphism are unknown. We confirm with genetics and biochemical assays guided by AlphaFold structure predictions that Mkt1 forms a complex with Pbp1, a messenger RNP protein that supports adaptations to respiratory...
