I have this same question, but the answer is supposed to involve mitochondrial uncoupling?
A mutant haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae(yeast) called cox2-1 was found that was unable togrow on media containing glycerol as the sole sourceof carbon and energy. (Glycerol is a nonfermentablesubstrate for yeast.) This strain could, however, growon the fermentable substrate glucose. Researchers discovered that cox2-1 cells lack a mitochondrial proteincalled cytochrome c oxidase.a. Explain why cox2-1 cells can grow on mediumcontaining glucose but not on glycerol medium.

Researchers discovered that cox2-1 cells lack a mitochondrial proteincalled cytochrome c oxidase.a. Explain why cox2-1 cells can grow on mediumcontaining glucose but not on glycerol medium.b. When cox2-1 was crossed with a wild-type yeaststrain and the resultant diploid cells were allowedto grow mitotically, it was found that about half thediploid clones were able to grow on glycerol, whilethe other half could not. The diploid clones thatcould grow on glycerol were induced to sporulate,and they yielded tetrads with four spores that wereall able to grow on glycerol medium. In all of thesetetrads, two of the haploid progeny were of matingtype a and two of mating type α. The diploids thatcould not…

4. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes some proteins of the ETC. Point mutations of mitochondrial genes can impair the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. One of the syndrome resulting from disorders of mtDNA-encoding protein is MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke). The carliest manifestations are the neurological and muscular abnormalities due to the greater dependence of brain, heart and skeletal muscle on mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Explain why 252 Chapter 5. Catabolism and cellular bioenergetics the levels of lactate and pyruvate are increased in MELAS syndrome. For the answer: a) discuss the respiratory control in ETC and significance of the ratio NADH/ NAD; b) describe the reactions of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate; c) explain why the disorders in the structures of components of ETC leads to the activation of the reaction, which is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase.
