COX4

Symbol: COX4
Name: Cytochrome c OXidase 4
Entrez gene ID: 852688
Ensembl gene ID: YGL187C
Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932)

Functional description:
Cox4p; Subunit IV of cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal member of the mitochondrial inner membrane electron transport chain; precursor N-terminal 25 residues are cleaved during mitochondrial import; phosphorylated; spermidine enhances translation [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003155] [Ensembl]

Observation:

COX4 (subunit of cytochrome oxidase) deletion decreases mitochondrial membrane potential in rho+ cells to a value intermediate between rho+ and rho0 as well as increases mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 24% and 55%, respectively. Deletion of either RTG2 or RTG3 abrogated the replicative lifespan extension by COX4 deletion. ERC levels in cox4Delta rho+ cells was the same or lower than in rho+ cells [22303396].
