High impact information on FMT1

  • The ability of bovine mIF2 to support mitochondrial translation in the yeast fmt1 mutant suggests that this phenomenon may extend to mammalian mitochondria as well [1].
  • We have studied yeast mutants carrying chromosomal disruptions of the genes encoding the mitochondrial C(1)-tetrahydrofolate (C(1)-THF) synthase (MIS1), necessary for synthesis of 10-formyl-THF, and the methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (open reading frame YBL013W; designated FMT1) [2].
 

Biological context of FMT1

  • The only growth phenotype observed was a longer lag time during growth on nonfermentable carbon sources in minimal media for the mis1 deletion strain but not for the fmt1 deletion strain [2].
