Abstract excerpt

We have previously identified a protein with Mr approximately 40,000 (p40) that binds with high specificity and affinity to the 5'-untranslated leaders of mitochondrial mRNAs in yeast. Here we show that this protein is abundant, comprising about 0.4% of total mitochondrial protein. p40 is present...
