Abstract excerpt
Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) is a lipid that transports electrons in the respiratory chains of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in ubiquinone biosynthesis fail to grow on nonfermentable carbon sources and have been classified into eight complementation groups (coq1 coq8; Tzagoloff, A., and Dieckmann, C. L.(1990) Microbiol. Rev. 54, 211-225). In this study we show that...
