Abstract excerpt
A yeast nuclear gene, designated MSK1, has been selected from a yeast genomic library by transformation of a respiratory deficient mutant impaired in acylation of mitochondrial lysine tRNA. This gene confers a respiratory competent phenotype and restores the mutant's ability to acylate the mitochondrial lysine tRNA. The amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by MSK1 is homologous to yeast cytoplasmic...
