Atovaquone acts on the cytochrome bc1 complex and inhibits the electron transport chain. 

Cancer cells treated with a newly developed drug (Gr8) began to show resistance. After running a couple of PCR reactions you’ve noticed that one of the cytochrome P450 genes (CYP-g8or) is highly upregulated in resistant cells only. You decided to knock down the gene with siRNA. What is most likely the effect that this downregulation will have?
