Abstract excerpt
The nuclear PET122 gene of S. cerevisiae encodes a mitochondrial-localized protein that activates initiation of translation of the mitochondrial mRNA from the COX3 gene, which encodes subunit III of cytochrome c oxidase. The PET122 locus contains two divergent transcription units: one is involved in expression of PET122 mRNA and the mRNA for an adjacent gene OXA1, which is also required for cytochrome c oxidase...
