The present invention relates to the characterization of mutants in the genes isp-1 and ctb-1, which are genes that have a function at the level of cellular physiology, mitochondrial respiration and electron transport, and resistance to oxidative stress, as well as regulating developmental, behavioral, reproductive and aging rates. Mutations in the genes isp-1 andctb-1 are also provided. These genes and the protein they encode are used in a perspective of growth and aging control and in a therapeutic perspective for diseases in which mitochondrial function is altered. There is also provided methods of identification of compounds for the manipulation of the function of theisp-1 and ctb-1 genes and their protein products, as well as for the manipulation of the functions of mitochondria.

Cette invention concerne la caractérisation de mutants dans les gènes isp-1 et ctb-1, lesquels constituent des gènes intervenant au niveau de la physiologie cellulaire, de la respiration mitochondriale et du transport des électrons, ainsi qu'au niveau de la résistance au stress oxydatif et pour la régulation des degrés d'évolution, de comportement, de reproduction et de vieillissement. Cette invention porte également sur les mutations s'effectuant dans les gènes isp-1 et ctb-1. Ces gènes et la protéine qu'ils codent sont utilisés dans une perspective de régulation de la croissance et du vieillissement ainsi que dans une perspective thérapeutique pour des maladies dans lesquelles la fonction mitochondriale est altérée. Cette invention concerne en outre des méthodes d'identification de composés servant à la manipulation de la fonction des gènes isp-1 et ctb-1 et de leurs produits protéiniques, ainsi qu'à la manipulation des fonctions de la mitochondrie.
