High impact information on petB

RNA editing of tobacco petB mRNAs occurs both in chloroplasts and non-photosynthetic proplastids [1].
We found an RNA editing site in the protein coding region of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) petB transcripts [1].
Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription analyses have revealed that petB and petD contain single introns and the psbB gene cluster is transcribed as a single polycistronic unit [2].

Biological context of petB

Rapid splicing and stepwise processing of a transcript from the psbB operon in tobacco chloroplasts: determination of the intron sites in petB and petD [2].
