Identification of an uncharacterized gene as a mitochondrial methionine tRNA-synthetase in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essential for translation, as they charge tRNA molecules with their corresponding amino acids. Alterations in aaRSs can significantly disrupt both cytosolic and mitochondrial translation. Through a forward genet…
