We found the gene products of ORF YKL055c (EMBL Accession No. X75781) and of YOR221C (EMBL Accession No. X92441) to be homologous to bacterial 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductases and to malonyl-CoA:ACP-transferases, respectively. We disrupted these two genes which in both cases led to a respiratory deficient phenotype, as is the case for the genes encoding a mitochondrial acyl carrier protein and a beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase. We propose to call the above mentioned genes OAR1 3-oxo-acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase and MCT1 (malonyl-CoA:ACP transferase). They are presumed to be part of a type-II mitochondrial fatty acid synthase, a relic of the endosymbiontic origin of mitochondria, delivering substrates for phospholipid re-modelling and/or repair.
