Identification of the probable coding region for exon 2 of cytochrome oxidase polypeptide I from Aspergillus nidulans mitochondrion.
Hypothetical protein URFe of Aspergillus nidulans mitochondrion is homologous with the amino end of cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) polypeptide I. Unidentified reading frame URFe does not contain a suitable initiation codon and codes for a protein with a length of only 91 residues, corresponding to about 20% of cytochrome oxidase polypeptide I. It is proposed that this region codes for the second exon of the cox 1 gene of Aspergillus mitochondrion. Possible candidates for the 2- to 3-residue amino-terminal exon 1 are discussed.
