The Candida utilis QCR7 gene encoding subunit VII of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase was isolated by functional complementation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae subunit VII-null mutant. Several other subunit VII homologues as well as homologues for subunit VIII were identified by screening the GenBank database. Some of these homologues for subunit VII could only be identified as such using a consensus sequence that was derived from the multiple sequence alignment. Definition of the consensus should facilitate further analysis of structure/function relationships in this protein.
