From the In plant mitochondria, some of the tRNAs are
encoded by the mitochondrial genome and resemble their prokaryotic
counterparts, whereas the remaining tRNAs are encoded by the nuclear
genome and imported from the cytosol. Generally, mitochondrial
isoacceptor tRNAs all have the same genetic origin. One known exception
to this rule is the group of tRNAGly isoacceptors in
dicotyledonous plants. A mitochondrion-encoded tRNAGly and at least one nucleus-encoded
tRNAGly coexist in the mitochondria of these plants, and
both are required to allow translation of all four GGN glycine
codons. We have taken advantage of this atypical situation to address
the problem of tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase coevolution in plants. In
this work, we show that two different nucleus-encoded glycyl-tRNA
synthetases (GlyRSs) are imported into Arabidopsis thaliana
and Phaseolus vulgaris mitochondria. The first one,
GlyRS-1, is similar to human or yeast glycyl-tRNA synthetase, whereas
the second, GlyRS-2, is similar to Escherichia coli
glycyl-tRNA synthetase. Both enzymes are dual targeted, GlyRS-1 to
mitochondria and to the cytosol and GlyRS-2 to mitochondria and
chloroplasts. Unexpectedly, GlyRS-1 seems to be active in the cytosol
but inactive in mitochondrial fractions, whereas GlyRS-2 is likely to
glycylate both the organelle-encoded tRNAGly and the
imported tRNAGly present in mitochondria.
