Abstract excerpt
We used a genetic approach to study the nuclear factors involved in the biogenesis of mitochondrial tRNAs. A point mutation in the mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae had previously been shown to result in a temperature-sensitive respiratory-deficient phenotype as a result of the absence of 3' end-processing of the tRNA(Asp). Analysis of mitochondrial revertants has shown that all revertants...
