摘要: 线粒体中存在着数量最多的RNA编辑位点, RNA编辑为何在线粒体中频繁出现至今仍不清楚。对角苔、石松、蕨类、松柏、苏铁、单子叶植物和双子叶植物7个植物类群中6 838个C-U RNA编辑位点从(1) 氨基酸转移概率、(2) 密码子转移概率、(3) 编辑位点在密码子中的位置、(4) 编辑位点-1位置碱基出现频率、(5) 编辑位点+1位置碱基出现频率5个方面进行了分析, 发现被子植物(单子叶植物和双子叶植物) 线粒体RNA编辑在密码子转移方面与其它植物类群存在显著差异。

Abstract: Mitochondria harbor the greatest number of RNA editing sites, why RNA editing emerges so frequently in mitochondria is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the 6 838 mitochondrial RNA editing sites from hornwort, clubmoss, fern, conifer, cycad, monocot and eudicot in features of(1)the probability of amino acid transition, (2)the probability of codon transition, (3)the probability of position of editing site occurring in the codon, (4)the probability of the occurrence of four bases at the minus 1 position near the RNA editing site, and(5)the probability of the occurrence of four bases at the plus 1 position near the RNA editing site. We find that the codon transition of mitochondrial RNA editing in angiosperms(monocot and eudicot)is significantly different from that of other plant groups.
