Drosophila male-sterile mutation emmenthal specifically affects the mitochondrial morphogenesis

Proper mitochondrial morphogenesis is crucial for successful development of motile sperm. It was known that recessive Drosophila melanogaster mutation emm caused anomalies in the formation of a mitochondrial derivative—nebenkern and led to male sterility. Here we identified primary mutation effect a...
