Analysis of cDNA clones covering the entire coding region of cytochrome oxidase subunit II in Oenothera mitochondria reveals 24 potential editing sites: 23 C to U transitions and one U to C conversion. One editing event is observed outside the open reading frame in the 3' non-coding region. Thirteen
Two loci encoding subunit III of the cytochrome oxidase (COX) in Oenothera mitochondria have been identified from a cDNA library of mitochondrial transcripts. A 657-bp sequence block upstream from the open reading frame is also present in the two copies of the COX subunit I gene and is presumably
The cytochrome oxidase subunit II gene has been localized in the mitochondrial genome of Oenothera berteriana and the nucleotide sequence has been determined. The coding sequence contains 777 bp and, unlike the corresponding gene in Zea mays, is not interrupted by an intron. No TGA codon is found
To investigate whether RNA editing in plant mitochondria modifies structural RNAs as well as protein-coding RNAs we compared the genomic-encoded information with the respective transcripts of several genes in Oenothera. The genes analysed are the 5S, 18S and 26 S rRNAs, the alpha-subunit of ATPase
A novel group II intron has been identified in the pea (Pisum sativum) mitochondrial genome. The gene harbouring this intron is identified as rps10 (encoding protein S10 of the small ribosomal subunit) by similarity to its known homologues in bacteria and in the mitochondrion of the liverwort
