Gene Group (FlyBase)
MITOCHONDRIAL AMINOACYL-TRNA SYNTHETASES -
Mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the ligation of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs in mitochondria. They are encoded by nuclear genes and are imported into mitochondria with the guidance of a 'mitochondrial targeting sequence'. (Adapted from FBrf0230668.)
