Yeast is a versatile tool to study the function of genes involved in mitochondrial processes and in metabolic pathways. A large number of human genes involved in such pathways have yeast orthologues; moreover, yeast is easy to manipulate and it can switch from a fermentative to a respiratory metabolism, thus permitting to study mitochondrial phenotypes. For all these reasons, we employed S. cerevisiae for the functional characterization of different genes involved in inherited metabolic and mitochondrial disorders. Gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina (GA) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations at the level of the ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), a mitochondrial matrix protein involved in the ornithine metabolism. We ident...
