Abstract excerpt
Mammalian mitochondria synthesize a set of thirteen proteins that are essential for energy generation via oxidative phosphorylation. The genes for all of the factors required for synthesis of the mitochondrially encoded proteins are located in the nuclear genome. A number of disease-causing mutations have been identified in these genes. In this manuscript, we have elucidated the mechanisms of translational...
