The psaA gene of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii consists of three exons that are widely separated on the chloroplast genome and transcribed independently. The exons are flanked by group II intron sequences. Maturation of the psaA mRNA requires two steps of splicing in trans between the transcripts of exons 1, 2, and 3. At least 14 nuclear loci and one chloroplast gene ( tscA ) are involved in this process. Recently the genes of three of these nuclear factors have been cloned. Raa3 is involved in the first trans-splicing reaction, and Raa1 and Raa2 are required for the second trans-splicing reaction. Here we show that Raa1 and Raa2 can be coimmunoprecipitated and that they are part of a high molecular weight complex of 400–500 kD. The size and integrity of the complex are affected by mutations in other complementation groups, suggesting that the corresponding proteins may also be components of this multiprotein complex or required for its assembly. Raa1 is also associated with a larger complex.
