APhaseolus vulgaris mitochondrial tRNA(Leu) is identical to its cytoplasmic counterpart: sequencing andin vivo transcription of the gene corresponding to the cytoplasmic tRNA(Leu.)
Abstract
We report here that the sequence ofP. vulgaris mitochondrial and cytoplasmic tRNA(Leu) (NAA) are identical except for a post-transcriptional modification. There is an unidentified modification at the "wobble" position which, from the sequence of the nuclear tRNA(Leu) gene, we identify as a derivative of C. We also show that thisP. vulgaris nuclear gene is functional by demonstrating its transcription in anin vivo eukaryotic transcription system.
