Abstract excerpt
This paper reports the isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding the FtsZ protein of pea. The protein is synthesised as a precursor molecule of 423 amino acids with a molecular mass of 44 kDa. When translated in vitro, the protein is translocated efficiently into isolated, intact pea chloroplasts, demonstrating that the protein is localised in the chloroplast. Pea FtsZ synthesised in vitro formed...
