Abstract excerpt
In prokaryotic systems, the translation initiation of many, though not all, mRNAs depends on interaction between a sequence element upstream of the start codon (the Shine-Dalgarno sequence [SD]) and a complementary sequence in the 3' end of the 16S rRNA (anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence [aSD]). Although many chloroplast mRNAs harbor putative SDs in their 5' untranslated regions and the aSD displays strong...
