Abstract excerpt
The splicing of nuclear encoded RNAs, including tRNAs, has been widely believed to occur in the nucleus. However, we recently found that one of the tRNA splicing enzymes, splicing endonuclease, is localized to the outer surface of mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These results suggested the unexpected possibility of tRNA splicing in the cytoplasm. To investigate this possibility, we examined whether...
