The gas-1 gene encodes a 49 kDa subunit of mitochondrial complex I that is required for oxidative phosphorylation, resistance to volatile anesthetics, fecundity, and normal lifespan; gas-1 is expressed in the nematode neuromuscular system; its subcellular distribution appears to be mitochondrial; drug effects on mutants versus wild-type indicate that gas-1 functions at least partially through presynaptic effects; gas-1 mutants have strongly reduced Complex I-dependent metabolism in mitochondria, while Complex II-dependent metabolism is conversely increased in mutants; gas-1 mitochondria look structurally normal.
