Assembly of the mitochondrial membrane system: nuclear suppression of a cytochrome b mutation in yeast mitochondrial DNA.

abstract：:Studies in the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have revealed that several signaling pathways are important for the regulation of growth. Among these, the insulin receptor/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is remarkable in that it affects growth and final size without disturbing pattern formation. We have used a s...
