In canonical translation systems, the single elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) recognizes all elongator tRNAs. However, in Caenorhabditis elegans mitochondria, two distinct EF-Tu species, EF-Tu1 and EF-Tu2, recognize 20 species of T armless tRNA and two species of D armless tRNA(Ser), respectively. We...
