Localization

Localization Comment Organism GeneOntology No. Textmining
mitochondrion cytosolic tRNAsLys tRK1 is partially targeted into mitochondria. Binding of tRK1 to the precursor of mitochondrial lysyl-tRNA synthetase preMsk1p, IIb class aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, is a prerequisite of import. The hinge region of preMsk1p is essential to provide the import. The N-terminal domain of preMsk1p with the adjacent hinge region not only interacts with aminoacylated tRK1, but is also able to direct tRK1 import even in absence of the C-terminal domain. Enolase 2 participates as a putative RNA chaperone, suggesting that it may induce the import-active conformation in the tRNA Saccharomyces cerevisiae 5739
