Mammalian mitochondrial transfer RNAs: chromatographic properties, size and origin
Incubation of isolated rat liver mitochondria with radioactive amino acids resulted in the charging of tRNAs for arginine, asparagine, leucine, lysine, methionine, proline and v...
Analysis of intra-genomic GC content homogeneity within prokaryotes
Our findings show that GCVAR is linked with oxygen requirement, while mean genomic GC content is not. We therefore suggest that GCVAR should be used as a complement to mean GC c...
The Mitochondrial Genome of the Hemichordate Balanoglossus carnosus and the Evolution of Deuterostome Mitochondria
Abstract The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the hemichordate Balanoglossus carnosus (acorn worm) was determined. The arrangement of the genes encodi...
Codon recognition rules in yeast mitochondria.
The mitochondrial genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for 24 tRNAs. The nucleotide sequences of the tRNA genes suggest a unique set of rules that govern the decoding of the...
Codon reassignment and amino acid composition in hemichordate mitochondria
In the mitochondrial genome of the hemichordate Balanoglossus carnosus , the codon AAA, which is assigned to lysine in most metazoans but to asparagine in echinoderms, is absent...
