Abstract excerpt
Yeast tRNA(Lys)CUU is nucleus-encoded and is partially imported into the mitochondria. Another lysine isoacceptor, tRNA(Lys)SUU, is also nucleus-encoded but is not imported. These two tRNAs differ in 21 bases. We have previously localised import selectivity determinants in the anticodon arm. By in vitro import of mutant transcripts and by expression of mutant tRNA genes in vivo we show here that the first base...
