Abstract

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 editing sites are found altered in all cDNA clones, whereas the other eleven sites are only edited in some of the cDNA clones. These differentially edited sites occur most frequently at silent codon positions or in triplets at non-conserved amino acids.
