Preferential transcription of cloned maize chloroplast DNA sequences by maize chloroplast RNA polymerase.
Zea mays chloroplast DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in vitro preferentially transcribes maize chloroplast DNA sequences incorporated in cloned chimeric bacterial plasmids. Preferential transcription is dependent on the presence of a 27.5-kilodalton polypeptide, the S factor, which has been purified from maize chloroplasts, and also on the template's being in the supercoiled form.
متن کاملMaize chloroplast RNA polymerase: the 180-, 120-, and 38-kilodalton polypeptides are encoded in chloroplast genes.
Prominent polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 180, 120, 85, and 38 kDa are found in an extensively purified preparation of maize chloroplast DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that retains the capacity to initiate transcription of the cloned chloroplast gene rbcL correctly and the requirement for a supercoiled DNA template for specific and active transcription. Amino-terminal amino acid se...
متن کاملRecognition of prokaryotic transcription terminators by spinach chloroplast RNA polymerase.
To determine whether chloroplast RNA polymerase will accurately terminate transcription in vitro, we have fused the spinach chloroplast rbcL promoter to the 3' end of the rbcL gene as well as to various factor independent transcription terminators from E. coli. Transcription of the rbcL minigene did not result in production of the expected 265 nucleotide RNA. However, the spinach chloroplast RN...
متن کاملDynamics of Chloroplast Translation during Chloroplast Differentiation in Maize
Chloroplast genomes in land plants contain approximately 100 genes, the majority of which reside in polycistronic transcription units derived from cyanobacterial operons. The expression of chloroplast genes is integrated into developmental programs underlying the differentiation of photosynthetic cells from non-photosynthetic progenitors. In C4 plants, the partitioning of photosynthesis between...
متن کاملNuclear Mutants of Maize with Defects in Chloroplast Polysome Assembly Have Altered Chloroplast RNA Metabolism.
The molecular basis for the photosynthetic defect in four nuclear mutants of maize was investigated. Mutants hcf7, cps1-1, cps1-2, and cps2 contained reduced levels of many chloroplast-encoded proteins without corresponding deficiencies in chloroplast mRNAs. Many chloroplast mRNAs were associated with abnormally few ribosomes, indicating that the protein deficiencies were due to global defects ...
