Chloroplast ribosomal S14 protein transcript is edited to create a translation initiation codon in the moss Physcomitrella patens.
The rps14 transcript is edited in the moss Physcomitrella patens chloroplast by a C-to-U transition, to create a translation initiation codon, AUG. The efficiency of RNA editing was low, with approximately 20% of rps14 transcripts edited. This suggests that the translation of rps14 mRNA is strictly regulated by RNA editing. This is the first report of RNA editing in P. patens and the creation of a translation initiation codon in rps14 mRNA in chloroplasts.
