We have purified 13 large subunit proteins of the mitochondrial ribosome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and determined their partial amino acid sequences. To elucidate the structure and function of these proteins, we searched for their genes by comparing our sequence data with those deduced from the genomic nucleotide sequence data of S. cerevisiae and analyzed them. In addition, we searched for the genes encoding proteins whose N-terminal amino acid sequences we have reported previously [Grohmann, L., Graack, H.-R., Kruft, V., Choli, T., Goldschmidt-Reisin, S. & Kitakawa, M. (1991) FEBS Lett. 284, 51-56]. Thus, we were able to identify and characterize 12 new genes for large subunit proteins of the yeast mitochondrial ribosome. Furthermore, we determined the N-terminal amino acid sequences of seven small subunit proteins and subsequently identified the genes for five of them, three of which were found to be new.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
