Unique Translation Initiation at the Second AUG Codon Determines Mitochondrial Localization of the Phage-Type RNA Polymerases in the Moss Physcomitrella patens1 From: Plant Physiology | Date: May 1, 2005| Author: Sato, Naoki; Kabeya, Yukihiro | Copyright American Society of Plant Physiologists May 2005.

The nuclear genome of the moss Physcomitrella patens contains two genes encoding phage-type RNA polymerases (PpRPOT1 and PpRPOT2). Each of the PpRPOT1 and PpRPOT2 transcripts possesses two in-frame AUG codons at the 5' terminus that could act as a translational initiation site. Observation of transient and stable Physcomitrella transformants expressing the 5' terminus of each PpRPOT cDNA fused with the green fluorescent protein gene suggested that both PpRPOT1 and PpRPOT2 are not translated f...
