title: A Chinese hamster mutant cell line with a defect in the integral membrane protein CII-3 of complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
abstract: In this study, a respiration-deficient Chinese hamster cell line with a defect in succinate dehydrogenase activity is shown to result from a single base change in a codon in the coding sequence for the membrane anchor protein CII-3 (also referred to as QPs-1). A premature translation stop results in the truncation of 33 amino acids from the C terminus. Bovine cDNA encoding this peptide complements the mutation. There is about 82% identity between these two mammalian proteins. The gene for CII-3 was mapped on human chromosome 1, and because it is also found on minichromosomes characterized by our laboratory, we can localize it on the short arm within 1-2 megabases from the centromere.
