    Notes: Abstract   We describe fundamental characteristics of sorghum mitochondrial orf25, urf209, and a related chimeric configuration, orf265/130, which is restricted to the IS1112C source of cytoplasmic male sterility in sorghum. Transcripts of urf209 are edited at ten nucleotides, resulting in nine amino-acid changes predicted from genomic sequences. The cDNA-predicted polypeptide product is 23.6 kDa, while Western blot analyses identify a product of 20 kDa. Transcription of urf209 is characterized by one or two transcripts, dependent on nuclear background, but this difference is not related to male fertility status. The orf265/130 chimeric region includes 288 bp 95% identical to sequences 5′ to maize T-cytoplasm T-urf13 and atp6, which includes a common transcription initiation site, and terminates with a recombinational event involving urf209. The urf209 similarity extends 189 bp, followed by sequences duplicated 5′ to sorghum atp6-2. Sequences immediately 3′ to the atp6-2 similarity include a second in-frame start codon, defining orf130. Structural features 5′ to orf130 are shared with motifs found 5′ to several translated mitochondrial open reading frames. The orf265/orf130 configuration is uniquely transcribed, and transcripts of orf130 exhibit one silent RNA editing event. Transcription in somatic cells is not altered by male fertility status.
