Figure 5. Analysis of the import status of mitochondrial tRNAs in T22-11 transformant.

Figure 5

(A) Northern blot analysis of mitochondrial tRNAs extracted from the T22-WT strain and T22-11 transformant. Hybridizations were performed with radiolabeled oligonucleotides specific for cytosolic tRNAGly(GCC) (G1), tRNAGly(UCC) (G2), tRNAGly(CCC) (G3), tRNAVal(AAC) (V) and tRNALeu(AAG) (L); for mitochondrial tRNAMet (M mt), tRNAGln (Q mt) and for the mitochondrial L3a rRNA (L3a mt). (B) Signals were quantified and normalized with the L3a mt signal. Results are the means of 3 to 5 independent experiments and correspond to the percentage of variation of tRNA steady-state levels in the T22-11 transformant as compared to the T22-WT strain. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences using Student t test with a significance threshold of 0.05.
