Location of the single gene for the large subunit of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase on the maize chloroplast chromosome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structural gene for the large subunit of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase (E.C. 4.1.1.39) in Zea mays is shown to be contained within a 2500 base pair sequence of chloroplast DNA. One copy of this DNA sequence is present in each circular maize chloroplast DNA molecule. It maps approximately 30,000 base pairs from the 5' end of the closest of two sets of rRNA genes and approximately 71,000 base pairs from the other set of rRNA genes.

Cloning and mapping of the chloroplast DNA sequences for two messenger RNAs from mustard (Sinapis alba L.).
Restriction fragments of chloroplast (cp)DNA from mustard leaves were cloned in E. coli using pBR 322 as the vehicle. Cloned fragments containing the structural sequences for two polypeptides of 56,000 and 35,000 daltons were selected by a mRNA hybridization-translation procedure. The cloned mustard genes are structurally related to chloroplast genes from maize. They hybridize to the maize mRNA...
متن کاملCodon bias patterns in photosynthetic genes of halophytic grass Aeluropus littoralis
Codon bias refers to the differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. Pattern of codon and optimum codon utilization is significantly different between the lives. This difference is due to the long term function of natural selection and evolution process. Genetics drift, mutation and regulation of gene expression are the main reasons for codon bias. In this stu...

Taxonomic study of the genus Padina (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) from the Persian Gulf coast was conducted based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses using chloroplast encoded large subunit RuBisCo (rbcL) gene sequences. Detailed descriptions of each species found in this study are described. Several morphological characters, such as number of cell layers composing the thallus, pr...
متن کاملNonsense mutations in the Chlamydomonas chloroplast gene that codes for the large subunit of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast mutants 18-5B and 18-7G lack both the chloroplast-encoded large subunit and nuclear-encoded small subunit of the chloroplast enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39). A chloroplast intergenic-suppression model has been postulated to account for the genetic instability of 18-5B revertants. Here, we have determined the molecula...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
