title: Analysis of the regions coding for transfer RNAs in Kluyveromyces lactis mitochondrial DNA.
abstract: The major regions coding for the transfer RNA genes in the mitochondrial DNA of K. lactis were studied. Twenty one, out of a supposed twenty four tRNA genes were identified and localized with respect to other mitochondrial genes. Most of the tRNA genes were found in a cluster downstream of the large ribosomal RNA gene. The order of a few groups of genes is conserved with respect to S. cerevisiae and T. glabrata. The highly diverged intergenic sequences contained a large number of guanine-cytosine clusters which frequently formed long palindromic sequences.
