We utilized the heat-sensitive mutant strain (Ts932), bearing a mutation at position 61 in the mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) gene, to identify nuclear genes involved in tRNA biogenesis; this mutant is defective in 3'-end processing and consequently in the production of mature mitochondrial tRNA(Asp). We transformed this strain with a yeast nuclear library and we isolated among other suppressors, an unknown, non-essential gene (called SMM1, corresponding to open reading frame YNR015w), which restored the growth on glycerol and a normal amount of processed tRNA(Asp) in the mutant. The gene contains a domain highly conserved in evolution from bacteria to human and its product has been recently shown to have dihydrouridine synthase activity.
