摘要: COX19, a nuclear gene ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae, was cloned by transformation of respiratory-deficient mutant from complementation group G188 apet collection. The codes for an 11-kDa protein (Cox19p) required expression cytochrome oxidase. Becausecox19 mutants are able to synthesize the mitochondrial and products oxidase, Cox19p probably functions post-translationally during assembly enzyme. is present in cytoplasm mitochondria, where it exists as soluble intermembrane protein. This dual location similar what previously reported Cox17p, low molecular weight copper thought be maturation CuA center subunit 2 similarity their subcellular distribution, combined with presence four cysteines that align subset suggests like latter, may function metal transport mitochondria.
