| Abstract: | Total yeast mitochondrial RNA was shown to possess messenger RNA activity when injected into oocytes of the frog Xenopus laevis. The specific polypeptides formed were precipitated by mitochondrial antisera. A comparison was made of the molecular weights of the proteins obtained form this system with those made by mitochondria in vivo in the presence of cycloheximide. No RNA containing poly(A) sequences was detected in yeast mitochondria. |
