Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria possess their own ribosomes responsible for the synthesis of a small number of proteins encoded by the mitochondrial genome. In yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the two ribosomal RNAs and a single ribosomal protein, Var1, are products of mitochondrial genes, and the remaining approxi...
