摘要: Abstract The mitochondrial genome of trypanosomes, unlike that most other eukaryotes, does not appear to encode any tRNAs. Therefore, tRNAs must be either imported into the organelle or created through a novel process, such as RNA editing. Trypanosomal tRNA(Tyr), whose gene contains an 11-nucleotide intron, is present in both cytosol and mitochondrion encoded by single-copy nuclear gene. By site-directed mutagenesis, point mutations were introduced this tRNA gene, mutated was reintroduced trypanosomal DNA transfection. Expression mutant led accumulation unspliced tRNA(Tyr) (A. Schneider, K. P. McNally, N. Agabian, J. Biol. Chem. 268:21868-21874, 1993). Cell fractionation revealed significant portion recovered fraction resistant micrococcal nuclease treatment intact organelle. integrated, recovery its product directly demonstrated import. In vitro experiments showed contrast spliced wild-type form, no longer substrate for cognate aminoacyl synthetase. The presence uncharged mitochondria aminoacylation coupled
