Abstract
Cytochrome oxidase is a multisubunit protein of complex structure and function. The smaller subunits are encoded by nuclear DNA, synthesized in the cytoplasm and transported into the mitochondria; whereas the three largest subunits are made in the mitochondria. As a part of our efforts at studying the organization, expression and regulation of the nuclear genes for cytochrome oxidase, we are in the process of isolating and characterizing the genes and proteins for the nuclear-encoded subunits in Neurospora crassa.
