three mutations of the MEF2 gene reveal an atorvastatin-sensitive phenotype and further analysis uncovers a decreased respiratory capacity.
Title: Polymorphisms in the mitochondrial ribosome recycling factor EF-G2mt/MEF2 compromise cell respiratory function and increase atorvastatin toxicity.
Data suggest a role for the MEF2 gene in maintenance of mitochondrial health.
Title: The MEF2 gene is essential for yeast longevity, with a dual role in cell respiration and maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential.
