The S. cerevisiae strain h56 is a temperature-sensitive mit- mutant containing a single nucleotide substitution in the region 5' to the reading frame of the mitochondrial var1 gene. The mutation decreases the efficiency of processing of a precursor RNA such that little var1 mRNA is produced at the r

We describe a mitochondrial suppressor mutation, which restores respiratory competence to the nuclear pet--mutant MK2. This mutant lacks the message of the mitochondrial cob-gene and instead accumulates a partially spliced pre-mRNA which ,is not translated. Complete processing and translation of the
Due to the absence of repetition of the rRNA genes in S. cerevisiae mitochondria, isolation of ribosomal mutants at the level of the rRNA genes is relatively easy in this system. We describe here a novel thermosensitive mutation, ts1297, localized by rho- deletion mapping in (or very close to) the s
