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 i...
