- Inactivation of YME2/RNA12, which encodes an integral inner mitochondrial membrane protein, causes increased escape of DNA from mitochondria to the nucleus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hanekamp, T., Thorsness, P.E. Mol. Cell. Biol. (1996)
- The ZbYME2 gene from the food spoilage yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii confers not only YME2 functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but also the capacity for catabolism of sorbate and benzoate, two major weak organic acid preservatives. Mollapour, M., Piper, P.W. Mol. Microbiol. (2001)
- Nuclear mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that affect the escape of DNA from mitochondria to the nucleus. Thorsness, P.E., Fox, T.D. Genetics (1993)
- YNT20, a bypass suppressor of yme1 yme2, encodes a putative 3'-5' exonuclease localized in mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hanekamp, T., Thorsness, P.E. Curr. Genet. (1999)
