Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein L12 is the only component present in four copies in the ribosome. In prokaryotes as well as in yeast and human mitochondria, all copies correspond to the same RPL12. By contrast, we present here evidence that plant mitochondria contain four different RPL12 proteins. Compared to E. coli RPL12, the four mature RPL12 variants show a conserved C-terminal region that contains all the functional...
