Figure 1
Figure 1
The travels of transfer RNA. tRNAs are either nucleus- or mitochondria-encoded. Several tRNA transport systems have been described: from the nucleus or the mitochondria to the cytoplasm; from the cytoplasm to the nucleus or the mitochondria; and export out of the cell.

The machinery of nucleus-encoded tRNA import through the inner mitochondrial membrane in Leishmania. Adapted with the permission of Landes Bioscience from Bhattacharyya & Adhya, 2004. ANT, a transporter similar to the adenine nucleotide translocator; RIC, RNA import complex.
