A highly transcribed region in Oenothera mitochondria codes for an open reading frame comprising 250 condons (orf250). This open reading frame shows high sequence similarity to the helC gene of Rhodobacter capsulatus which encodes a subunit of a proposed ABC-type heme transporter. Transcripts of orf250 are edited by cytidine to uridine transitions at 29 sites, altering 10% of all encoded amino acids. Genes homologous to helC have also been found in the bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Escherichia coli, and are conserved in mitochondria of Marchantia polymorpha, Daucus carota, and Arabidopsis thaliana. In bacteria these genes belong to operons that are involved in the biogenesis of c-type cytochromes. The bacterial gene organization is partly conserved in Marchantia, but altered in the mitochondrial genome of Oenothera.
