Abstract excerpt
Yeast mitochondrial DNA codes for eight major polypeptides. Translation of he mitochondrially encoded polypeptides in strains with mutated mitochondrial release factor, mRF1, was found to result in the synthesis of a novel protein, V2. Different mrf1 alleles were associated with different efficiency of V2p synthesis. Translation of V2p was enhanced by paromomycin. Comparative analysis of peptides resulting from...
