Abstract excerpt

A trans-acting element, MGT1 (also called CCE1), has previously been shown to be required in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the preferential transmission of petite mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecules over wild-type mtDNA molecules. In the present study a possible role of this nuclear gene in the tr...
