Abstract excerpt
Mutations in human mitochondrial tRNA genes are associated with a number of multisystemic disorders. These single nucleotide substitutions in various domains of tRNA molecules may affect different steps of tRNA biogenesis. Often, the prominent decrease of aminoacylation and/or steady-state levels of affected mitochondrial tRNA have been demonstrated in patients' tissues and in cultured cells. Similar effect has...
