<p> Rose Hulman's MitochOndriOFF focuses being able to control the cell's ability to perform aerobic respiration. The process through which we accomplish this is through turning off a gene, <i>MRPS12</i> , which produces a protein that is necessary for mitochondrial ribosome function. This stops the electron transport train and forces the cell to ferment. Our chassis, <i>S. Cerevisae</i> can survive purely through fermentation, which allows us to test this process without killing the cell.</p>

Welcome to the RHIT Team's MitochONdriOFF project!

Our project focuses on controlling aerobic respiration in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We will address this objective by regulating the expression of mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPS12. This protein is essential to the function of mitochondrial ribosomes, which produce key components of the electron transport chain. Without these components, the electron transport chain is disabled and aerobic respiration is not possible.
