Overlap and cotranscription of the genes for the beta and epsilon subunits of tobacco chloroplast ATPase

The nucleotide sequences of the genes for the β and ε subunits of tobacco chloroplast ATPase have been determined. The coding regions for the β and ε subunits contain 1494 bp (498 codons) and 399 bp (133 codons), respectively. The 3' end of the β-coding region overlaps by one nucleotide with th...

Zusammenfassung:	The nucleotide sequences of the genes for the β and ε subunits of tobacco chloroplast ATPase have been determined. The coding regions for the β and ε subunits contain 1494 bp (498 codons) and 399 bp (133 codons), respectively. The 3' end of the β-coding region overlaps by one nucleotide with the 5' end of the ε-coding region. The overlapping termination and initiation codons are ATGA. The β and ε genes are cotranscribed as a 2.7-kb polycistronic mRNA. The amount of the β and ε mRNA in the chloroplast is about one-twentieth that of the LS mRNA.
