Abstract
|
|
|
|
A tRNA A,, pseudogene has been identified by nucleotide sequence analysis of a cloned HindIII restriction fragment of maize mitochondrial DNA. The pseudogene has been found to be located in 1.1-kb HindlI1 fragment. Sequence comparison of the pseudogene to the functional gene which has been already characterized shows that 7 nt from the 5´ end of the tRNA structure is missing and one nucleotide is substituted at position 20 (TG). The homology extends 8 nt beyond the 3´ end of the gene. It suggests that the pseudogen has presumably been generated through illegitimate recombinational event.
