Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence of introns and flanking exons in wild-type and box3 mutants of cytochrome b reveals an interlaced splicing protein coded by an intron
TL;DR: The DNA sequence of the wild type and mutated introns as well as their flanking exons in the yeast mitochondrial gene specifying cytochrome b, and a trans-acting protein "mRNA maturase" responsible for splicing and maturation of cy tochrome b mRNA are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization in yeast mitochondrial DNA of mutations expressed in a deficiency of cytochrome oxidase and/or coenzyme QH2-cytochrome c reductase.
TL;DR: Three methods are described for the genetic analysis of yeast cytoplasmic mutants (mit- mutants) lacking cytochrome oxidase or coenzyme QH2-cytochrome c reductase, which permit mutations in mitochondrial DNA to be mapped relative to each other and with respect to drug-resistant markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
OXA1, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear gene whose sequence is conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes controls cytochrome oxidase biogenesis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the OXA1 gene is primary required at a post-translational step in cytochrome oxidase biogenesis, probably at the level of assembly, although the oxa1-79 mutation leads to some pleiotropic secondary defects in earlier steps of mitochondrial gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial genetics. 3. Recombined molecules of mitochondrial DNA obtained from crosses between cytoplasmic petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: physical and genetic characterization.
TL;DR: A novel type of evidence has been adduced, that the two genes are indeed located on mitochondrial DNA, and that new suppressiveness, different from the two parental ones, can result from the recombination of mitochondrial DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The NAM2 proteins from S. cerevisiae and S. douglasii are mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetases, and are involved in mRNA splicing.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mitochondrial leucyl tRNA synthetase is involved in protein synthesis and mRNA splicing in Saccharomyces douglasii.
