Yes they reproduce. the S1 subunit (the spike. from the S1S2 spike protein) reproduces 168 different kinds of proteins. Of these they seem to be after the protein called "His-SUMOstar"
SUMOstar forms TIM23 with an enzyme (b2(220)-DHFR) In other reports I read the body creates an antibody against TIM23. TIM23 reduces the decay of cells. Tim23 channels with voltage. protein-coding have been found for this gene Pam18 creates a pathway or channel in the cell. Tim17–Pam18 fusion construct creates a mutant mitochondria. Which that is the part I'm stuck on. Why are they making this mutant mitochondria?
I'm still trying to figure out what this mutant mitochondria does? This is from this report.
This is these scientists sense of humor. "we generated a yeast strain in which a Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) cleavage site was introduced between Tim17 and Pam18 in the fusion construct" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-06492-8
