Nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for elongator tRNAMet and tRNAVal (UAC): the tRNAVal (UAC) gene contains a long intron.

چکیده
The nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for elongator tRNAMet and tRNAVal (UAC) have been determined. The tRNAVal gene contains a 571 base pairs intron located in the anticodon loop. The tRNAVal gene is transcribed as a 750 bases precursor RNA molecule. Both tRNAs deduced from the DNA sequences show 97% sequence homologies with those of spinach chloroplasts.

Coexistence of nuclear DNA-encoded tRNAVal(AAC) and mitochondrial DNA-encoded tRNAVal(UAC) in mitochondria of a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha.
The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial DNA encodes almost all tRNAs required for mitochondrial translation except for the isoleucine (AUU, AUC) and threonine (ACA, ACG) codons, while the missing tRNAs are supplied in part by the nucleus and imported in mitochondria. In this paper, we report a finding of two radically different nuclear tRNAVal(AAC) genes and import of the correspondin...
متن کاملCodon bias patterns in photosynthetic genes of halophytic grass Aeluropus littoralis
Codon bias refers to the differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. Pattern of codon and optimum codon utilization is significantly different between the lives. This difference is due to the long term function of natural selection and evolution process. Genetics drift, mutation and regulation of gene expression are the main reasons for codon bias. In this stu...
متن کاملConstraints on the evolution of plastid introns: the group II intron in the gene encoding tRNA-Val(UAC).
The evolution of the group II intron in the plastid gene encoding tRNA(Val)UAC (trnV) from seven plant taxa was studied by aligning secondary and other structural features. Levels of evolutionary divergence between six angiosperms and a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, were compared for the six domains commonly demonstrated for group II introns and were shown to be statistically heterogeneous....
متن کاملMolecular genetic analysis of chloroplast gene promoters dependent on SIG2, a nucleus-encoded sigma factor for the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase, in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Most photosynthesis-related genes in mature chloroplasts are transcribed by a eubacterial-type RNA polymerase (PEP) whose core subunits are encoded by the plastid genome. It has been shown previously that six putative nuclear genes (SIG1 to SIG6) encode promoter-specificity factors for PEP in Arabidopsis thaliana, and we isolated a T-DNA insertion line of SIG2 (sig2-1 mutant) that manifests abe...
متن کاملNovel Genomic and Evolutionary Perspective of Cyanobacterial tRNAs
Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a central role in protein synthesis and acts as an adaptor molecule between an mRNA and an amino acid. A tRNA has an L-shaped clover leaf-like structure and contains an acceptor arm, D-arm, D-loop, anti-codon arm, anti-codon loop, variable loop, Ψ-arm and Ψ-loop. All of these arms and loops are important in protein translation. Here, we aimed to delineate the genomic a...
