Subunits I and II of Dictyostelium cytochrome c oxidase are specified by a single open reading frame transcribed into a large polycistronic RNA.

چکیده
A single open reading frame (ORF) encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and II (cox1/2) was identified in the mitochondrial genome of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The cox1 coding region shares intron positions with its counterparts in fungi and algae. Northern blot analysis, using exon and intron-specific probes, suggests that the cox1/2 gene is transcribed as part of a large, efficiently processed, polycistronic RNA.

Paracoccus denitrificans mutants deleted in the gene for subunit II of cytochrome c oxidase also lack subunit I.
As a prerequisite to site-directed mutagenesis on cytochrome c oxidase, two different mutants are constructed by inactivating the cta gene locus encoding subunits II and III (ctaC and ctaE) of the Paracoccus denitrificans oxidase. Either a short fragment encoding part of the putative copper binding site near the C terminus of subunit II, or a substantial fragment, comprising parts of the coding...
متن کاملInternal frameshifts within the mitochondrial genes for cytochrome oxidase subunit II and maxicircle unidentified reading frame 3 of Leishmania tarentolae are corrected by RNA editing: evidence for translation of the edited cytochrome oxidase subunit II mRNA.
The Leishmania tarentolae cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) subunit II (COII) and maxicircle unidentified reading frame 3 (MURF3) mRNAs are edited internally by the addition of four and five uridine residues, respectively, which eliminate -1 and +1 reading frameshifts in the gene sequences. The editing events in COII are conserved in three kinetoplastid species, and those in MURF3 are conserved i...
متن کاملUbiquinol Oxidase in Acetobacter aceti
The terminal oxidase for ethanol oxidation in Acetobacter aced was purified as a complex consisting of four subunits (subunits I, II, III, and IV) with molecular masses of 72, 34, 21, and 13 kDa, respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis and catalytic properties determined with the purified enzyme showed that it belonged to a family of cytochrome a, (ba)-type ubiquinol oxidases. A polymerase ch...
متن کاملComparison of Mitochondrial-Related Transcriptional Levels of mitochondrial transcription factor A, Nuclear respiratory factor 1 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 Genes in Single Human Oocytes at Various Stages of the Oocyte Maturation
Background: The aim of the current study was to assess the mRNA levels of two mitochondria-related genes, including nuclear-encoded NRF1 (nuclear respiratory factor 1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and mitochondrial-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (MT-CO1) genes in various stages of the human oocyte maturation. Methods: Oocytes were obtained from nine infertile women wit...
