Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. A few, however, are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and are produced by the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factors in trypanosomatids display a fascinating divergence from those in higher eukaryotes. Foundational research has revealed that these parasites possess multiple ...

In all organisms, mRNA-directed protein synthesis is catalysed by ribosomes. Although the basic aspects of translation are preserved in all kingdoms of life, important differences are found in the ...
