Abstract excerpt
The Kluyveromyces lactis nuclear gene, MRP-L23, encodes a polypeptide of 155 amino acids that shares 70% and 43% identity to the ribosomal proteins L23 and L13 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli. The deduced protein, designated K1L23, is a likely component of the large subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes as it can complement the respiratory deficient phenotype of a S. cerevisiae mrp-L23 mutant. As in...
