M. Duarte et al., IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYKY HOMOLOGOUS SUBUNIT OF COMPLEX-I FROM NEUROSPORA-CRASSA, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Bioenergetics, 1322(2-3), 1997, pp. 237-241
A polypeptide subunit of complex I from Neurospora crassa, homologous
to bovine TYKY, was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and used f
or the production of rabbit antiserum. The mature mitochondrial protei
n displays a molecular mass of 21280 Da and results from cleavage of a
presequence consisting of the first 34 N-terminal amino acids of the
precursor. This protein was found closely associated with the peripher
al arm of complex I. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
