Abstract Background The mitochondrial respiratory chain produces metabolic energy by oxidative phosphorylation. Biogenesis of the respiratory chain requires the coordinated expression of two genomes the nuclear genome encoding the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins and the mitochondrial genome encoding a handful of mitochondrial proteins. The understanding of the molecular processes contributing to respiratory chain assembly and maintenance requires the systematic identification and functional analysis of the genes involved. Results We pursued a systematic genome-wide approach to define the sets of genes required for respiratory activity and maintenance and expression of the mitochondrial genome in yeast. By comparative gene deletion analysis we found an unexpected phenotypic plasticity among respiratory-deficient mutants and we identified ten previously .
