| ABSTRACT | The nucleotide sequence of a gene coding for tRNALys and its flanking regions from mung bean mitochondrial genome are presented and compared with known mitochondrial tRNALys genes from other higher plant species. This tRNA sequence shows less similarity with its chloroplast counterpart. Several regulatory motifs in the 5' and the 3' flanking regions were identified. The 3' motif could be folded into a stem-loop structure. The functions of these regulatory motifs are discussed. |
