Abstract:
We have cloned the gene for subunit Vc of sweet potato cytochrome c oxidase using its cDNA as a probe. There is a single intron, located one nucleotide upstream of the start of the open reading frame. No typical TATA-box sequence is present in the region upstream of the site of initiation of transcription in the cloned genomic DNA, suggesting that an alternative sequence may function in control of the expression of this gene. The nuclear genome of sweet potato contains only a single species of gene for subunit Vc.

Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
