Mitochondrial tRNA import and its consequences for mitochondrial translation
A Schneider - Annual review of biochemistry, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The mitochondrial genomes of most eukaryotes lack a variable number of tRNA genes. This
lack is compensated for by import of a small fraction of the corresponding cytosolic tRNAs …
