Saving the world one cell at a time
Our Project
Our project focuses on how to control the aerobic respiration of yeast cells by manipulating the expression of mRPS12.Without mRPS12, yeast mitochondria lack a functioning ribosome and become unable to produce proteins necessary for aerobic respiration. By expressing the mRPS12 protein in a haploid mRPS12 knockout strain, we investigated its usefulness as a means of regulating aerobic respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
