The plastid psbB operon is composed of the psbB, psbT, psbH, petB and petD genes. The psbN gene is located in the intergenic region between psbT and psbH on the opposite DNA strand. Transcription of psbN is under control of sigma factor 3 (SIG3) and psbN read-through transcription produces antisense RNA to psbT mRNA. To investigate on the question of whether psbT gene expression might be regulated by antisense RNA, we have characterized psbT sense and antisense RNAs. Mapping of 5' and 3'-ends by ...[more]
