Abstract

Sequencing of potato mitochondrial (mt) tRNA(Leu)(NAA) and of its cytosolic (cyt) counterpart revealed that these tRNAs are identical, except for a post-transcriptional modification: a Gm is present at position 18 in mt tRNA(Leu), instead of a G in cyt tRNA(Leu). Hybridization studies have shown that potato mt tRNA(Leu)(NAA) has a nuclear origin and must therefore be imported from the cytosol.
