Abstract
The organisation and expression of the rpl22, rps3, rpl16 and rpl14 genes, which belong to the S10- and spc-like operons of spinach chloroplasts, have been studied. Northern experiments and nuclease S1 mapping show that the two operon-like groups of genes are cotranscribed. It is demonstrated that the intron-containing rpl16 gene is spliced in vivo. Based on amino acid composition and protein sequence data, the products of the rpl22, rpl16 and rpl14 genes are identified respectively as the spinach chloroplast ribosomal proteins CS-L13, CS-L24 and CS-L29. The rpl22 gene product is a 5S rRNA binding protein and therefore is distinguishable from the homologous Escherichia coli L22 ribosomal protein.Keywords
