Abstract excerpt
In this report, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying a deafness-associated m.7516delA mutation affecting the 5' end processing sites of mitochondrial tRNAAsp and tRNASer(UCN). An in vitro processing experiment demonstrated that m.7516delA mutation caused the aberrant 5' end processing of tRNASer(UCN) and tRNAAsp precursors, catalyzed by RNase P. Using cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) derived from one...
