Interchangeable parts: The evolutionarily dynamic tRNA population in plant mitochondria.
Mitochondrion - 1 May 2020
Warren Jessica M, Sloan Daniel B
Abstract excerpt
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) remain one of the very few classes of genes still encoded in the mitochondrial genome. These key components of the protein translation system must interact with a large enzymatic network of nuclear-encoded gene products to maintain mitochondrial function. Plants have an evolutionarily dynamic mitochondrial tRNA population, including ongoing tRNA gene loss and replacement by both horizontal...
