di Rago JP, Perea J, Colson AM: Isolation and RNA sequence analysis of cytochrome b mutants resistant to funiculosin, a center i inhibitor of the mitochondrial ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FEBS Lett. 1990 Apr 9;263(1):93-8. Funiculosin is a well-known inhibitor of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, probably acting at the ubiquinone reducing site or center i of QH2-cytochrome c reductase. We report here the isolation, mapping and RNA sequence analysis of yeast apo-cytochrome b mutants resistant to this inhibitor. Funiculosin-resistance was found to be conferred, in 4 independent isolates, upon replacement of a leucine residue by phenylalanine in position 198 of the cytochrome b polypeptide chain. |
