Transcription of the gene coding for subunit 9 of ATP synthase in rice mitochondria

Transcription of the single-copy rice mitochondrial atp9 gene has been analyzed. We propose that there is a 0.65 kb primary transcript that is processed to an abundant 0.45 kb mRNA; a sequence motif at the 5' terminus of the 0.65 kb transcript shares 9 out of 11 nucleotides homology to the cons...

Zusammenfassung:Transcription of the single-copy rice mitochondrial atp9 gene has been analyzed. We propose that there is a 0.65 kb primary transcript that is processed to an abundant 0.45 kb mRNA; a sequence motif at the 5' terminus of the 0.65 kb transcript shares 9 out of 11 nucleotides homology to the consensus promoter proposed for maize. There are several 3' termini based on RNase protection, and these termini map within or just distal to inverted repeats that could fold into a double stem-loop structure.
