Unique features of animal mitochondrial translation systems: – The non-universal genetic code, unusual features of the translational apparatus and their relevance to human mitochondrial diseases –
In animal mitochondria, several codons are non-universal and their meanings differ depending on the species. In addition, the tRNA structures that decipher codons are sometimes unusually truncated. These features seem to be related to the shortening of mitochondrial (mt) genomes, which occurred duri...
