Abstract excerpt

The 613-base 5'-untranslated leader (5'-UTL) of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial COX3 mRNA contains the target of an mRNA-specific translational activator complex composed of at least three nuclearly encoded proteins. We have genetically mapped a collection of cox3 point mutations, usin...
