We describe here the structure and expression of thenad3/rps12/ccb206locus in the mitochondrial genomes of rapeseed (Brassica napusL.) and related species. In the rapeseed mitochondrial genome there are three tandemly located open reading frames for subunit 3 of NADH dehydrogenase (nad3), the S12 subunit protein of the mitochondrial ribosome (rps12), and a homologue of one subunit of the ABC-heme transporter (ccb206). The gene organization of thenad3/rps12/ccb206locus found in rapeseed mitochondria is not conserved inArabidopsis thalianamitochondria, where theccb206andnad3/rps12loci are separated from each other. We show here that the rapeseed gene-organization pattern is also present in otherBrassicaspecies, but not in radish, a species very closely related toBrassica. Northern hybridization and RT-PCR analyses indicate that these three mitochondrial genes are possibly co-transcribed. Ten, seven, and 39 C-to-U RNA editing events occur in the rapeseednad3,rps12, andccb206transcripts, respectively. Finally we show that codon position 21 ofnad3is edited in a highly species-specific manner among relatedBrassicaspecies, including rapeseed and radish.
