Abstract

Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation produces ATP and is an important source for cellular energy equivalents. Here the authors perform a cell-based screen to identify genes that alleviate perturbed mitochondrial complex I function and identify malic enzyme (ME-1), which promotes survival by production of NADPH and glutathione.
