Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei does not encode any identifiable tRNAs. Instead, mitochondrial tRNAs are synthesized in the nucleus and subsequently imported into mitochondria. In order to analyse the signals which target the tRNAs into the mitochondria, an in vivo import system ha...
