Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one of the two cytoplasmic lysine tRNAs, tRNACUULys, is partially associated with the mitochondrial matrix. Mitochondrial import of this tRNA requires binding to the precursor of the mitochondrial lysyl-tRNA synthetase, pre-MSK, and aminoacylation by the cytoplasmic lysyl-tRNA synthetase, KRS, appears to be a prerequisite for this binding. The second lysine isoacceptor...
