Pentose-phosphate pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: analysis of deletion mutants for transketolase, transaldolase, and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

abstract：:The mitochondrial (mt) genome of the sea anemone Metridium senile contains genes for only two transfer RNAs (tRNAs), tRNAf-Met and tRNATrp. Experiments were conducted to seek evidence for the occurrence of functional tRNAs corresponding to these genes and for the participation of nuclear DNA-encoded tRNAs in mt-protei...
