Mitochondrial tRNA Import in Toxoplasma gondii
28 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Apicomplexan parasites have the smallest known mitochondrial genome. It consists of a repeated element of approximately 6-7 kb in length and encodes three mitochondrial proteins, a number of rRNA fragments, but no tRNAs. It has therefore been postulated that in apicomplexans all tRNAs required for mitochondrial translation are imported from the cytosol. To provide direct evidence for this process we have...
