SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for COX18

COX18 encodes a protein required for the export of the C-terminal domain of Cox2p from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space, a crucial step in the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (2). Cox18p interacts physically with Pnt1p and Mss2p, which are also involved in export of the Cox2p C terminus (2). Cox18p is an integral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane, with domains exposed on each face of the membrane (1, 2). The cox18 null mutation eliminates cytochrome c oxidase activity and blocks respiratory growth (1, 2).
