Abstract excerpt
We have identified a cluster of mitochondrial tRNA(Leu[UUR]), mutations in a severe case of infantile myopathy. There were A to G transitions found at mtDNA positions 3259, 3261, 3266 and 3268. These point mutations change the anticodon arm and the anticodon UAA, normally found in tRNA(Leu[UUR]), to UGA which is the one of the tRNAs(Ser[UCN]). This is the first anticodon alteration described in this tRNA. Another...
