  • Title: The synthesis of chloroplast high-molecular-weight ribosomal ribonucleic acid in spinach.
    Author: Hartley MR, Head C.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1979 May 15; 96(2):301-9. PubMed ID: 456375.
    Abstract:
    Illuminated suspensions of chloroplasts isolated from young spinach leaves show incorporation of [3H]uridine into several species of RNA. One such RNA species of Mr 2.7 x 10(6) shows sequence homology with both the chloroplast 23-S rRNA (Mr = 1.05 x 10(6)) and 16-S rRNA (Mr = 0.56 x 10(6)), as judged by DNA/RNA competition hybridization. Leaves labelled in vivo with [32P]orthophosphate in the presence of chloramphenicol accumulate labelled RNAs of Mr 1.28 x 10(6), 0.71/0.75 x 10(6) and 0.47 x 10(6). The 1.28 x 10(6)-Mr RNA shows 80.5% sequence homology with the 1.05 x 10(6)-Mr rRNA and the 0.71/0.75 x 10(6)-Mr RNA mixture shows 76% sequence homology with the 0.56 x 10(6)-Mr rRNA. We conclude that the pathway of rRNA maturation in spinach chloroplasts is similar to that of Escherichia coli.
