RESUMO
The yeast nuclear gene PET111 is required specifically for translation of the mitochondrion-coded mRNA for cytochrome c oxidase subunit II. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 3-kilobase segment of DNA that carries PET111. The sequence contains a single long open reading frame that predicts a basic protein of 718 amino acids. The PET111 gene product is a mitochondrial protein, since a hybrid protein which includes the amino-terminal 154 amino acids of PET111 fused to beta-galactosidase is specifically associated with mitochondria. PET111 is translated from a 2.9-kilobase mRNA which, interestingly, has an extended 5'-leader sequence containing four short open reading frames upstream of the long open reading frame. These open reading frames exhibit an interesting pattern of overlap with each other and with the PET111 reading frame.
