The novel nuclear gene DSS-1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is necessary for mitochondrial biogenesis.

abstract：:We have cloned and sequenced human and bovine cDNAs for the beta subunit of the ATP synthase (ATP-syn beta), a nuclear DNA (nDNA) encoded oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) gene. The two cDNAs were found to share 99% amino acid homology and 94% nucleotide homology. The evolutionary rate of ATPsyn beta was then compare...
