Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to identify new nuclear genes involved in the synthesis and processing of mitochondrial tRNAs, we utilized a multicopy nuclear library to suppress the heat-sensitive phenotype of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial mutant strain. This strain (Ts 932) is defective in the 3'-end processing of the mitochondrial tRNAAsp transcript. The nuclear genes coding for the mitochondrial elongation factor...
