This suggests that plant mitochondrial rpl27 genes have been transferred previously from the mitochondrial genome to the nuclear genome .
A nuclear cDNA encoding mitochondrial RPL27 was identified in rice ( Oryza sativa ) .
Three similar sequences were identified : rpl27-1 and rpl27-2 on chromosome 8 and rpl27-3 on chromosome 4 .
Harr plot analysis suggests that they were generated by inter and intrachromosomal duplications .
Interestingly , the transcribed rpl27 gene ( rpl27-1 ) acquired a promoter sequence that was derived from the rice spt16 ( Osspt16 ) gene , the homolog of a global transcription factor in yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) located downstream from the rpl27-3 sequence on chromosome 4 , after inter and intrachromosomal recombination .
Reverse transcription-PCR and promoter assay revealed that the rpl27 mRNAs were mainly transcribed from rpl27-1 .
A repeat of seven nucleotides ( AATAGTT ) was identified at the junction of rpl27-1 and rpl27-2 on chromosome 8 , and the same repeat was also identified at the 5 end of rpl27-2 and the 3 end of rpl27-1 .
This repeat ( AATAGTT ) contains the hot-spot sequence AGTT , which is preferentially recognized by topoisomerase I in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) germ , suggesting the involvement of topoisomerase I in this recombination .
We here report the example of promoter shuffling and show that this promoter shuffling resulted from a recent segmental duplication through inter and intrachromosomal recombination events . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 8, subscore: 2.00 ]: Three similar sequences were identified : rpl27-1 and rpl27-2 on chromosome 8 and rpl27-3 on chromosome 4 .
