From Zhiyi Xie in Sabeeha Merchant’s laboratory, UCLA, August 1997

Phenotype: requires acetate

The ccs1 mutants are alleles at a locus originally defined by the ac206 mutation (see CC-939 for more information on that mutant). The protein encoded by this locus is required for synthesis of cytochrome c.
