Abstract excerpt

Fzo1p is a novel component required for the biogenesis of functional mitochondria in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein is homologous to Drosophila Fzo, the first known protein mediator of mitochondrial fusion. Deletion of the FZO1 gene results in a petite phenotype, loss of mitochon...
