Locally continuously perfect groups of homeomorphisms

The notion of a locally continuously perfect group is introduced and studied. This notion generalizes locally smoothly perfect groups introduced by Haller and Teichmann. Next, we prove that the path connected identity component of the group of all homeomorphisms of a manifold is locally continuously perfect. The case of equivariant homeomorphism group and other examples are also considered.Comment: 14 page

Intrinsic uncoupling of cytochrome c oxidase may cause the maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases MELAS and LHON

AbstractMutations in the human mtDNA gene encoding subunit III of cytochrome c oxidase (CO) have been reported to cause MELAS and LHON. Paracoccus denitrificans cells expressing substitutions homologous to these MELAS- and LHON-causing mutations had lower growth yield than wild type cells and lower efficiency of proton pumping by CO (e.g. lower H+/e− ratio and lower ΔΨ), but had similar CO activity. These results indicate that both substitutions (F263L>A212T) cause intrinsic uncoupling, which may be the direct cause of the diseases. These results also suggest that subunit III is involved in proton pumping
