Overview

Mutations in Drosophila genes that encode components of mitochondrial complex IV (also known as cytochrome c oxidase or COX) have been used to model general dysfunction of this essential enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Fly genes used include COX4, COX5A, COX5B, COX7A, and cype (ortholog of COX6C).

This system has been used to assess the ability of alternative oxidases (AOX) from lower eukaryotes to rescue loss-of-function phenotypes of Drosophila COX component genes.
