Abstract excerpt
A lowered efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation was recently found in a Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) proband carrying a mutation in the mtDNA gene for subunit 6 of the membrane-bound F0 segment of the F1F0-ATP synthase [9]. This phenotype was transferred to cytoplasmic hybrid cells together with the mutation, proving its functional significance. Increasing the respiratory rate in the mitochondria...
