High impact information on ATP9

The import into isolated yeast mitochondria of passenger proteins (yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase subunits 8 and 9 and some mutagenised derivatives) that show little or no import when endowed with one such leader (that of Neurospora crassa mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit 9) is remarkably improved when the leader is tandemly duplicated [1].
Amino acid substitutions in mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit 9 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae leading to venturicidin or ossamycin resistance [2].
The gene order in a sequenced 6.6-kilobase region closely resembles that of the human mitochondrial genome in that ATP synthase subunit 8 and 6 genes are followed by genes for cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (which contains an intron), NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit 4, and ATP synthase subunit 9 [3].
