Isolation and nucleotide sequence of the pea cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene

A ribosomal protein S10 gene is found in the mitochondrial genome in Solanum tuberosum

“…Southern hybridization analysis indicates that rpslO-homologous sequences are not present in the wheat mitochondrial genome. Sequence analysis of a single-copy region of the pea mitochondrial genome located upstream of cox1 [11] shows that a non-functional rpslO pseudogene is present in this species. These results suggest that the functional genes coding for wheat and pea mitochondrial RPS 10 polypeptides have been translocated to the nucleus.…”

The cox1 Initiation Codon Is Created by RNA Editing in Potato Mitochondria

“…The alignment of coxl nt sequences from plant species shows strong conservation (93.8-96.9% similarity), which is indicative of a functional gene. However, the coxl gene of potato mitochondria contains an ACG codon at the position where coxl from both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant species have an ATG initiation codon (Isaac et al, 1985;Bailey-Serres et al, 1986;Grabau, 1986;Hiesel et al, 1987;Kemmerer et al, 1989).…”

“…These editing events restore the codons found in mtDNA from maize and sorghum (Isaac et al, 1985;BaileySerres et al, 1986). It appears likely, therefore, that the CCG Pro and TCT Ser codons found at the same positions in pea (Kemmerer et al, 1989), Oenotkeru (Hiesel et al, 19871, and soybean (Grabau, 1986) coxl genes are also converted to CTG Leu and TTT Phe codons.…”
