Undetected antisense tRNAs in mitochondrial genomes?

Table 1 Anticodons of sense and antisense tRNAs in vertebrate mitochondria for heavy- and light-strand encoded sense tRNAs and cognate amino acid matching sense and antisense anticodons according to the vertebrate mitochondrial genetic code.

The 3d and 6^th columns indicate COVE scores for the secondary structure component of the tRNA's cloverleaf, calculated by tRNAscan-SE (http://lowelab.ucsc.edu/tRNAscan-SE/[37]). The 4th column indicates the antisense anticodon as the inverse complement of the sense anticodon in column 2. If tRNAscan-SE detected a different (or no) anticodon, this is indicated after the comma. The 5th column indicates the amino acid matching the antisense anticodon according to the vertebrate mitochondrial genetic code. Column 7 indicates whether normal mitochondrial RNA maturation processes the 5' and/or 3' extremities of the antisense tRNA. The last column indicates the distance in number of nucleotides between these extremities of the antisense tRNA and the sense gene processed by regular sense RNA maturation
