The process of translation is divided into three main steps: initiation, elongation and termination. Initiation involves the binding of ribosomes — the cell's protein-synthesis machinery — to a ...
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.
