Var1 is associated with the small ribosomal subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes in yeast. 1979

G S Groot, and T L Mason, and N Van Harten-Loosbroek

We show that the mitochondrial protein known as Var1 is identical with the ribosome-associated protein previously identified as a product of mitochondrial protein synthesis. Although indirect evidence suggests that Var1 is not involved in ribosome biosynthesis, a definite conclusion has to await further investigation.
