A 20 X 10(3)-base mosaic gene identified on the mitochondrial chromosome of Podospora anserina.
By DNA sequencing and hybridization experiments we have localized the genes cob and col on the mitochondrial chromosome of Podospora anserina. The positions we have determined for these two genes are different from those previously attributed to them. The presence in the gene col of at least two introns, belonging respectively to class I and II, has been demonstrated. This gene, with a size of about 20 X 10(3) bases, appears to be the longest known mitochondrial mosaic gene.
