Abstract excerpt
The chloroplast atpB gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which encodes the beta subunit of the ATP synthase, contains three in-frame ATGs that are candidate translation initiation codons. An earlier study revealed that the N terminus of the assembled beta subunit maps at the +2 position with respect to the second in-frame methionine codon (Fiedler et al. 1995). Using chloroplast transformation, we have examined...
