Abstract

Two independent but complementary studies recently provided the first biochemical proof of the complete absence of mitochondrial Complex I in a multicellular eukaryote. The mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) of the hemiparasitic European mistletoe (Viscum album) displays dramatic rearrangements of its components, most likely reflecting its parasitic lifestyle.
