: carboxyl terminal; N: amino terminal; numbers in parenthesis indicate the amino acid residues encoded by the fused ORF. 2Polypeptides corresponding to the genuine mitochondrial gene. 3Polypeptides corresponding to the unique ORF. 4The extension may not be removed completely. 5ND: not determined. 6Polypeptides containing both the N-terminal extension and the core region of ATP6 have not been detected in any plant, perhaps due to rapid processing, or for unknown reasons (see references listed in the table). |
