<p> Rose-Hulman's MitochONdriOFF focuses on being able to control the cell's ability to use aerobic respiration for ATP production. We accomplish this is by creating a switch for the gene <i>MRPS12</i> which encodes a protein that is necessary for mitochondrial ribosomal function. This stops the electron transport chain 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 cells.</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.
