Comprehensive Profiling of Paper Mulberry ( Broussonetia papyrifera) Crotonylome Reveals the Significance of Lysine Crotonylation in Young Leaves. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031173. [PMID: 35163093 PMCID: PMC8834973 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a newly discovered and reversible posttranslational modification involved in various biological processes, especially metabolism regulation. A total of 5159 lysine crotonylation sites in 2272 protein groups were identified. Twenty-seven motifs were found to be the preferred amino acid sequences for crotonylation sites. Functional annotation analyses revealed that most crotonylated proteins play important roles in metabolic processes and photosynthesis. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that lysine crotonylation preferentially targets a variety of important biological processes, including ribosome, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, proteasome and the TCA cycle, indicating lysine crotonylation is involved in the common mechanism of metabolic regulation. A protein interaction network analysis revealed that diverse interactions are modulated by protein crotonylation. These results suggest that lysine crotonylation is involved in a variety of biological processes. HSP70 is a crucial protein involved in protecting plant cells and tissues from thermal or abiotic stress responses, and HSP70 protein was found to be crotonylated in paper mulberry. This systematic analysis provides the first comprehensive analysis of lysine crotonylation in paper mulberry and provides important resources for further study on the regulatory mechanism and function of the lysine crotonylated proteome.

Abstract
We dissected barley chromosomes 1H and 6H added to common wheat by the gametocidal system and identified structural changes of the chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization and genomic in situ hybridization. We found five aberrations of chromosome 1H, all of which lacked the long arm: one small fragment with the subtelomeric HvT01 sequence, one terminal deletion, and three telocentric chromosomes of the short arm. We established 33 dissection lines carrying single aberrant 6H chromosomes, of which 15 were deletions, 16 were translocations and two were isochromosomes. We conducted PCR analysis of the aberrant barley chromosomes using 75 and 81 EST markers specific to chromosomes 1H and 6H, respectively. This enabled us to construct a cytological map of chromosome 6H and to compare it to the previously reported genetic map and also to the physical map, which were released by the International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium. The marker orders on the three maps were largely in agreement. The cytological map had better resolution in the proximal region of chromosome 6H than the corresponding genetic map. We discuss some of the discrepancies in marker order between the three maps that might be due to intraspecific polymorphism and gene duplication, as well as to technical problems inherent in the physical mapping process.

Abstract
Wounding of tomato leaves results in the accumulation of an exoprotease called leucine aminopeptidase (LAP-A). While the expression of LapA genes are well characterized, the specificity of the LAP-A enzyme has not been studied. The LAP-A preprotein and mature polypeptide were overexpressed in Escherichia coli. PreLAP-A was not processed and was inactive accumulating in inclusion bodies. In contrast, 55-kDa mature LAP-A subunits assembled into an active, 357-kDa enzyme in E. coli. LAP-A from E. coli cultures was purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized relative to its animal (porcine LAP) and prokaryotic (E. coli PepA) homologues. Similar to the porcine and E. coli enzymes, the tomato LAP-A had high temperature and pH optima. Mn2+ was a strong activator for all three enzymes, while chelators, zinc ion, and the slow-binding aminopeptidase inhibitors (amastatin and bestatin) strongly inhibited activities of all three LAPs. The substrate specificities of porcine, E. coli and tomato LAPs were determined using amino-acid-p-nitroanilide and -beta-naphthylamide substrates. The tomato LAP-A preferentially hydrolyzed substrates with N-terminal Leu, Met and Arg residues. LAP-A had substantially lower levels of activity on other chromogenic substrates. Several differences in substrate specificities for the animal, plant and prokaryotic enzymes were noted.

Abstract
Studies were conducted to identify a 64-kD thylakoid membrane protein of unknown function. The protein was extracted from chloroplast thylakoids under low ionic strength conditions and purified to homogeneity by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four peptides generated from the proteolytic cleavage of the wheat 64-kD protein were sequenced and found to be identical to internal sequences of the chloroplast-coupling factor (CF1) alpha-subunit. Antibodies for the 64-kD protein also recognized the alpha-subunit of CF1. Both the 64-kD protein and the 61-kD CF1 alpha-subunit were present in the monocots barley (Hordeum vulgare), maize (Zea mays), oat (Avena sativa), and wheat (Triticum aestivum); but the dicots pea (Pisum sativum), soybean (Glycine max Merr.), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) contained only a single polypeptide corresponding to the CF1 alpha-subunit. The 64-kD protein accumulated in response to high irradiance (1000 mumol photons m-2 s-1) and declined in response to low irradiance (80 mumol photons m-2 s-1) treatments. Thus, the 64-kD protein was identified as an irradiance-dependent isoform of the CF1 alpha-subunit found only in monocots. Analysis of purified CF1 complexes showed that the 64-kD protein represented up to 15% of the total CF1 alpha-subunit.

Abstract
To investigate phylogenetic relationships among plasmons in Triticum and Aegilops, PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses were made of 14.0-kb chloroplast (ct) and 13. 7-kb mitochondrial (mt)DNA regions that were isolated from 46 alloplasmic wheat lines and one euplasmic line. These plasmons represent 31 species of the two genera. The ct and mtDNA regions included 10 and 9 structural genes, respectively. A total of 177 bands were detected, of which 40.6% were variable. The proportion of variable bands in ctDNA (51.1%) was higher than that of mtDNA (28. 9%). The phylogenetic trees of plasmons, derived by two different models, indicate a common picture of plasmon divergence in the two genera and suggest three major groups of plasmons (Einkorn, Triticum, and Aegilops). Because of uniparental plasmon transmission, the maternal parents of all but one polyploid species were identified. Only one Aegilops species, Ae. speltoides, was included in the Triticum group, suggesting that this species is the plasmon and B and G genome donor of all polyploid wheats. ctDNA variations were more intimately correlated with vegetative characters, whereas mtDNA variations were more closely correlated with reproductive characters. Plasmon divergence among the diploids of the two genera largely paralleled genome divergence. The relative times of origin of the polyploid species were inferred from genetic distances from their putative maternal parents.

Abstract
In order to study the phylogeny of Aegilops mutica in the genera of Triticum and Aegilops, variations in chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA regions were investigated by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. Nine lines, each of Ae. mutica and Ae. speltoides, were studied together with nine other Triticum and Aegilops species, including T. aestivum. By analyzing 9.7-kb chloroplast and 13.1-kb mitochondrial DNA regions, a total of 268 bands were detected, of which 176 (65.7%) showed variation within and/or between species. The level of intraspecific variation of Ae. mutica was lower than that of Ae. speltoides. The low level of the intraspecific variation of Ae. mutica was contrary to the expectation from previous studies on morphological and cytolo-gical characters. In the phylogenetic trees based on SSCP, Ae. mutica, Ae. speltoides and the other four species of the section Sitopsis (the subsection Emarginata) were separated into three different clusters. In addition, T. aestivum was included in the cluster of Ae. speltoides in the phylogenetic trees. This result suggests that Ae. speltoides is the cytoplasmic donor of common wheat.

Abstract
The delta-subunit was isolated from the purified yeast F1. Partial protein sequences were determined by direct methods. From this information, degenerated primers were constructed. A part of the ATP delta gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from yeast genomic DNA. From the amplified DNA sequence, a nondegenerated oligonucleotide probe was constructed to isolate a 2.6-kbp BamHI-EcoRI DNA fragment bearing the whole gene. A 1036-bp DraI fragment was sequenced. A 480-bp open reading frame encoding a 160-amino-acid polypeptide is described. The deduced amino acid sequence is 22 amino acids longer than the mature protein, which is 138 amino acids long with a mass of 14,555 Da. The delta-subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is 21%, 35%, 52% identical and 66%, 61% and 92% similar to the epsilon-subunit of Escherichia coli and the delta-subunits of beef heart and Neurospora crassa, respectively. A null mutant was constructed. The mutation was recessive and dramatically affected mitochondrial DNA stability since the transformed cells were 100% cytoplasmic petite. The double mutant (rho-, ATP delta::URA3) displayed low or no ATPase activity with an unstable catalytic sector, since a polyclonal antibody directed against the beta subunit did not coprecipitate the alpha subunit.

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced the plastid ATPase operons (atp1 and atp2) and flanking regions from the unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria (Cyanidium caldarium). Six genes (5 atpI, H, G, F, D and A 3) are linked in atp1 encoding ATPase subunits a, c, b, b, delta and alpha, respectively. The atpF gene does not contain an intron and overlaps atpD by 1 bp. As in the genome of chloroplasts from land plants, the cluster is located downstream of rps2, but between this gene and atp1 we found the gene for the prokaryotic translation elongation factor TS. Downstream of atpA, we detected two open reading frames, one encoding a putative transport protein. The genes atpB and atpE, encoding ATPase subunits beta and epsilon, respectively, are linked in atp2, separated by a 2 bp spacer. Upstream of atpB, an uninterrupted orf167 was detected which is homologous to an intron-containing open reading frame in land plant chloroplasts. This orf167 is preceded on the opposite DNA strand by a homologue to initiation factor 2 in prokaryotes. The arrangement of atp1 and atp2 is the same as observed in the multicellular red alga Antithamnion sp., indicating a conserved genome arrangement in the red algal plastid genome. Differences compared to green chloroplast genomes suggest a large phylogenetic distance between red algae and green plants, while similarities in arrangement and sequence to chromophytic ATPase operons support a red algal origin of chlorophyll a/c-containing plastids or alternatively point to a common prokaryotic endosymbiont.

Abstract
Synthesis of [14C]dequalinium, 1,1'-(1,10-[1,10-14C]decanediyl)bis[4-amino-2-methylquinolinium ], is described, which photoinactivates the bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase (MF1). Maximal photoinactivation occurs on incorporation of about 1.5 mol of [14C]dequalinium/mol of MF1. Three radioactive species were resolved when photoinactivated enzyme was submitted to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 4.0 in the presence of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, which correspond to the alpha and beta subunits and a cross-linked species with an M(r) of 116,000. Fractionation of a tryptic digest of photoinactivated enzyme by high-performance liquid chromatography led to isolation of a radioactive peptide which contains residues 399-420 of a alpha subunit. Two fragments containing equal amounts of radioactivity were obtained on fractionation of an endoproteinase Asp-N digest of the isolated radioactive tryptic peptide by high-performance liquid chromatography. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that both fragments contained residues 399-408 of the alpha subunit, but one was missing Phe-alpha 403 and the other was lacking Phe-alpha 406. Fractionation of a cyanogen bromide digest of photoinactivated enzyme followed by trypsin digestion of partially purified cyanogen bromide fragments and fractionation of the resulting radioactive tryptic fragments yielded several radioactive species comprised of residues 399-420 of the alpha subunit cross-linked to residues 440-459 of the beta subunit and a radioactive fragment containing residues 399-420 of the alpha subunit. Partial sequence analyses of the cross-linked fragments suggest that Phe-alpha 403 and Phe-alpha 406 participate in cross-links, whereas no information was obtained on the site or sites of cross-linking in the beta subunit fragment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The mitochondrial genomes of wheat and rye each contain a three-member family of recombining repeat sequences (the "18S/5S repeat") that encode genes for 18S and 5S rRNAs (rrn18 and rrn5) and tRNA(fMet) (trnfM). Here we present, for wheat and rye, the sequence and boundaries of the "common sequence unit" (CSU) that is shared between all three repeat copies in each species. The wheat CSU is 4,429 base-pairs long and contains (in addition to trnfM, rrn18 and rrn5) a putative promoter, three tRNA-like elements ("t-elements"), and part of a pseudogene ("psi atpAc") that is homologous to chloroplast atpA, which encodes the alpha subunit of chloroplast F1 ATPase. The rye CSU is somewhat smaller (2,855 base pairs) but contains much the same genic and other sequence elements as its wheat counterpart, except that two of the three t-elements as well as psi atpAc are found in only one of the three downstream flanks of the 18S/5S repeat, outside the CSU boundaries. In interpreting the sequence data in terms of the evolutionary history of the 18S/5S-repeat family of wheat and rye, we conclude that: (1) the wheat-rye form of the 18S/5S repeat most likely originated between 3 and 14 million years ago, in a lineage that gave rise to wheat and rye but not to barley, oats, rice or maize; (2) the close linkage (1-bp apart) between trnfM and rrn18 is similarly limited in its taxonomic distribution to the wheat/rye lineage; (3) the trnfM-rrn18 pair arose via a single mutation that inserted a sequence block containing trnfM immediately upstream of rrn18; and (4) the presence of a putative promoter upstream of rrn18 in all wheat and rye repeats is consistent with all three repeat copies being transcriptionally active. We discuss these conclusions in the light of the possible functional significance of recombining-repeats in plant mitochondrial genomes.

Abstract
The large plastid ATP synthase operon of the multicellular red alga Antithamnion sp. was cloned and the sequence of six ATPase genes determined. The operon resembles more the one from cyanobacteria than the ATP synthase operon of the chloroplast genome. The gene order is atpI, H, G, F, D and A, coding for the ATPase subunits a, c, b', b, delta and alpha, respectively. In green plants, the genes atpG and atpD are located in the nucleus. Unlike the situation in three published cyanobacterial ATP synthase operons, atpC, coding for the gamma subunit, is not a part of the rhodoplast operon. A single 4.5 kb transcript was detected with atpG, F, D and A gene probes that could span the whole operon, but no transcript could be detected with atpI and atpH probes. The end of an open reading frame preceding the atp genes shows remarkable homology to elongation factor TS from Escherichia coli. Behind the ATPase cluster, two open reading frames were detected that are not homologous to any known chloroplast gene. One of them may code for a transport protein of unknown specificity. Gene arrangement and sequence comparisons support the hypothesis of a polyphyletic origin of rhodoplasts and chloroplasts.

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced the genes atpB and atpE, coding for CF1 subunits beta and epsilon, respectively, of the chloroplast genome of the brown alga Dictyota dichotoma. Although the coding site of atpE cannot be demonstrated by heterologous Southern hybridizations, a 417 bp reading frame 3' to atpB was identified as the gene atpE by sequence similarities with atpE genes from other sources. A maximum sequence identity of 30% is found between the predicted amino acid sequence of the Dictyota subunit epsilon and the corresponding cyanobacterial subunits. Including conserved amino acid replacements, the Dictyota epsilon subunit exhibits about 70% sequence similarity with the cyanobacterial and land plant subunits. As in cyanobacteria, the atpE gene does not overlap the preceding gene atpB. The deduced amino acid sequence of atpB is 74-79% identical to the corresponding cyanobacterial and chloroplast subunits. Entirely conserved are regions referred to as the catalytic and/or regulatory sites of ATP formation, including interacting regions between subunits alpha and beta. A phylogram predicted from F1/CF1-beta subunits of eleven different organisms suggests a common evolutionary origin of plastids from chlorophytes and brown algae.

Abstract
Two alloplasmic wheat lines having the same common wheat nucleus but the cytoplasms of Aegilops crassa and Ae. columnaris together with the corresponding normal line (control) were used in the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of soluble and thylakoid membrane proteins of the chloroplast. Three chloroplast polypeptides: the Rubisco large subunit, the beta subunit of ATP synthase, and an unidentified 31 kDa protein, differed in the common wheat and two Aegilops cytoplasms. Three chloroplast genes, atpB, atpE and trnM, that respectively encode the beta and epsilon subunits of ATP synthase and tRNA(met), were sequenced. The atpB gene differed by two synonymous base substitutions, whereas the other two genes were identical in the two Aegilops cytoplasms. From the predicted amino acid sequences, the beta subunits of the ATP synthase in the Aegilops cytoplasms were assumed to have three amino acid substitutions: Ala by Val, Asp- by Ala, and Gln by Lys+, in contrast to the cytoplasm of common wheat. This accounts for the difference in pI values found for the common wheat and Aegilops cytoplasms. The two base substitutions for the atpE genes of common wheat and the Aegilops cytoplasms were synonymous. The differences detected in the genes encoding the two subunits of ATP synthase do not appear to be ascribable to the differences in phenotypic effects for the common wheat and Aegilops cytoplasms. The base substitution rate of the atpB-atpE-trnM gene cluster was similar to that of the rbcL gene. From the rate for the atpB gene alone, evolutionary divergence of the wheat-Aegilops complex is assumed to have begun ca. 3.0 x 10(6) years ago, as compared to ca. 8.0 x 10(6) years ago for the divergence of the wheat-Aegilops complex and barley.

Abstract
Escherichia coli strain KF148(SD-) defective in translation of the uncC gene for the epsilon subunit of H(+)-ATPase could not support growth by oxidative phosphorylation due to lack of F1 binding to Fo (M. Kuki, T. Noumi, M. Maeda, A. Amemura, and M. Futai, 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17, 437-17, 442). Mutant uncC genes for epsilon subunits lacking different lengths from the amino terminus were constructed and introduced into strain KF148(SD-). F1 with an epsilon subunit lacking the 15 amino-terminal residues could bind to F0 in a functionally competent manner, indicating that these amino acid residues are not absolutely necessary for formation of a functional enzyme. However, mutant F1 in which the epsilon subunit lacked 16 amino-terminal residues showed defective coupling between ATP hydrolysis (synthesis) and H(+)-translocation, although the mutant F1 showed partial binding to Fo. These findings suggest that the epsilon subunit is essential for binding of F1 to F0 and for normal H(+)-translocation. Previously, Kuki et al. (cited above) reported that 60 residues were not necessary for a functional enzyme. However, the mutant with an epsilon subunit lacking 15 residues from the amino terminus and 4 residues from the carboxyl terminus was defective in oxidative phosphorylation, suggesting that both terminal regions affect the conformation of the region essential for a functional enzyme.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of 3.2 kbp of pea chloroplast DNA located upstream from the petA gene for cytochrome f, and previously reported to contain the gene for a photosystem I polypeptide, has been determined. Three open reading frames of 587, 40 and 157 codons have been identified. Orf40 encodes a highly conserved, hydrophobic, membrane-spanning polypeptide, and is identified as the gene psaI for the 4 kDa subunit of photosystem I. Orf587 is an extended version of the gene zfpA previously identified as encoding a conserved putative zinc-finger protein. The product of orf587 shows extensive homology to an unidentified open reading frame cotranscribed with a gene for folate metabolism in Escherichia coli and local homology to a region of the beta subunit of rat mitochondrial propionyl-CoA carboxylase. It is suggested that the product of orf587 is an enzyme of C1 metabolism and is unlikely to be a regulatory DNA-binding protein. Orf157 potentially encodes an unidentified basic protein, but the protein sequence is not conserved in other plants.

Abstract
The structure and expression of the pea chloroplast atpH gene, encoding ATP synthase CFo subunit III, have been investigated. The atpH gene is situated between the atpI and atpF genes for CFo subunits IV and I, and encodes a hydrophobic polypeptide of 81 amino acid residues which is very similar to subunit III from other species. Analysis of transcripts from the region of chloroplast DNA encoding ATP synthase subunits IV-III-I-alpha shows a complex pattern of transcription, with large transcripts potentially coding for several subunits and also smaller gene-specific transcripts. Two abundant transcripts of 660 nucleotides (nt) and 980 nt specific for atpH were identified. Primer extension and S1 nuclease protection mapping suggested that the 660-nt transcripts were produced by endonucleolytic processing at the sequence, 5'-UGGAAU.

Abstract
An internal part of the chloroplast atpA gene has been identified in the mitochondrial DNA of Triticum aestivum. It is located near the 18S-5S ribosomal genes and partially contained within a repeated sequence. Comparison of the transferred sequence with the original ct sequence reveals several nucleotide changes and shows that neither 5' nor 3' ends are present in the mt genome. No transcript of this region could be detected by Northern analysis. This sequence is present in mitochondrial genomes of other tetraploid and diploid species of Triticum, also in the vicinity of the 18S-5S ribosomal genes, suggesting a unique transfer event. The date of this event is discussed.

Abstract
An endogenous ATPase inhibitor protein has been identified and isolated for the first time from plant mitochondria. The inhibitor protein was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber mitochondria and purified to homogeneity. The isolated inhibitor is a heat-stable, trypsin-sensitive, basic protein, with a molecular mass approximately 8.3 kDa. Amino acid analysis reveals a high content of glutamic acid, lysine and arginine and the absence of proline; threonine and leucine. The interaction of the inhibitor with F1-ATPase requires the presence of Mg2(+)-ATP in the incubation medium. The ATPase activity of isolated F1 is inhibited to 50% in the presence of 14 micrograms inhibitor/mg F1. A stoichiometry of 1.3 mol inhibitor/mol F1 for complete inhibition can be calculated from this value. The potato ATPase inhibitor is also a potent inhibitor of the ATPase activity of the isolated yeast F1. The inhibitor resembles the ATPase inhibitors of yeast and mammalian mitochondria, and does not seem to be related to the inhibitory peptide, epsilon subunit, of chloroplast ATPase.

Abstract
Four Escherichia coli mutants with defects in the alpha subunit of H+-ATPase (F0F1) (strain KF154, Pro-281----Leu; KF101 and KF131, Ala-285----Val; KF114, Arg-376----Cys) were isolated, and the kinetic properties of their F1-ATPases were studied. All the mutations so far identified are clustered in the two defined regions of the alpha subunit. With F1 of strain KF114, as with F1 of uncA401 (Ser-373----Phe; T. Noumi, M. Futai, and H. Kanazawa (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 10076-10079), the rate of multisite hydrolysis of ATP was 4 X 10(-3)-fold lower than that with wild-type F1, suggesting that residues Ser-373 and Arg-376 or the regions in their vicinities are essential for positive catalytic cooperativity. With F1 from strain KF101, multisite hydrolysis was higher (about 40% of that of the wild type), but the F1 was unstable and showed defective interaction with the membrane sector (F0). The F1 from KF154 had lower multisite hydrolysis (about 10% of that of the wild type) but could support slow growth by oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Three CF1 and three CF0 subunits of the chloroplast H(+)-ATP synthase are encoded on the chloroplast genome. The chloroplast atp genes are organized as two operons in plants but not in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The atpBE or β operon shows a relatively simple organisation and transcription pattern, while the atpIHFA or α operon is transcribed into a large variety of mRNAs. The atp genes are related to those of cyanobacteria and, more distantly, to those of non-photosynthetic bacteria such as E. coli, suggesting a common origin of most F1F0 ATP synthase subunits. Both the chloroplast and cyanobacterial ATP synthases have four F0 subunits, not three as in the E. coli complex. The proton pore of the CF0 is proposed to be formed by the interaction of subunits III and IV.

Abstract
The genes encoding the nine polypeptides of the ATP synthase from Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301, a unicellular cyanobacterium, and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, a filamentous cyanobacterium, have recently been isolated and their sequences determined. These represent the first such sequences available from procaryotic organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Similar to the organization in chloroplasts, the ATP synthase genes of both cyanobacteria are arranged in two gene clusters which are not closely linked in the chromosome. Three of the genes located in one cluster in cyanobacteria, however, are localized in the nuclear rather than the chloroplast genomes of plants. The cyanobacterial ATP synthase genes are ordered in the same manner as those in the single gene cluster of Escherichia coli. Cyanobacteria contain an additional gene denoted atpG which appears to be a duplicated and diverged from of the atpF gene. The larger cyanobacterial cluster, atp 1, is comprised of eight ATP synthase subunit genes arranged in the order atpI-atpH-atpG-atpF-atpD-atpA-atpC. An overlap between the atpF and atpD gene coding regions observed in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is absent in both Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 and E. coli. The second cluster of genes, atp 2, contains the remaining two ATP synthase genes in the order atpB-atpE. Unlike the situation in many chloroplast genomes, this gene pair does not overlap in either cyanobacterial species. In Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, atp 1 and atp 2 each comprise an operon and the transcription initiation sites for each gene cluster have been identified. The cyanobacterial ATP synthase subunits are much more closely related in sequence to the equivalent polypeptides from chloroplasts than they are to those of E. coli. The similarity in chloroplast and cyanobacterial ATP synthase subunit sequences and gene oreganization argue strongly for an endosymbiotic origin for plant chloroplasts.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence (56,410 base-pairs) of the large single-copy region of chloroplast DNA from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been determined. The sequence starts from one end (JLA) of the large single-copy region and encompasses genes for 21 tRNAs, six ATPase subunits (atpA, atpB, atpE, atpF, atpH and atpI), two photosystem I polypeptides (psaA and psaB), four photosystem II polypeptides (psbA, psbC, psbD and psbG), five ribosomal proteins (rps2, rps4, rps7, rps'12 and rps14), and three RNA polymerase subunits (rpoB, rpoC1 and rpoC2). In addition, we detected 18 open reading frames ranging from 29 to 2136 amino acid residues long, four of which share significant amino acid sequence homology to those of an Escherichia coli malK protein (designated mbpX), human mitochondrial ND2 (ndh2) and ND3 (ndh3) of a respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase, or a bacterial antenna protein of a light-harvesting complex (lhcA). Sequence analysis suggests that four tRNA genes and six protein genes might be split by introns; they are trnG(UCC), trnK(UUU), trnL(UAA), trnV(UAC), atpF, ndh2, rpoC1, rps'12, ORF135 and ORF167. In the large single-copy region described here, the gene organization deduced is highly conserved with respect to that of higher plants, but an inversion of some 30,000 base-pairs flanked by trnL(CAA) and trnD(GUC) was seen between the liverwort and tobacco chloroplast genomes.

Abstract
A cluster of genes encoding subunits of ATP synthase of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 was cloned, and the nucleotide sequences of the genes were determined. This cluster, denoted atp1, consists of four F0 genes and three F1 genes encoding the subunits a (atpI), c (atpH), b' (atpG), b (atpF), delta (atpD), alpha (aptA), and gamma (atpC) in that order. Closely linked upstream of the ATP synthase subunit genes is an open reading frame denoted gene 1, which is equivalent to the uncI gene of Escherichia coli. The atp1 gene cluster is at least 10 kilobase pairs distant in the genome from apt2, a cluster of genes encoding the beta (atpB) and epsilon (atpE) subunits of the ATP synthase. This two-clustered ATP synthase gene arrangement is intermediate between those found in chloroplasts and E. coli. A unique feature of the Anabaena atp1 cluster is overlap between the coding regions for atpF and atpD. The atp1 cluster is transcribed as a single 7-kilobase polycistronic mRNA that initiates 140 base pairs upstream of gene 1. The deduced translation products for the Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 subunit genes are more similar to chloroplast ATP synthase subunits than to those of E. coli.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of elongator tRNA(Met) genes from soybean chloroplast and mitochondria and Arabidopsis thaliana mitochondria have been determined. The mitochondrial tRNA(Met) genes from soybean and A. thaliana are identical, and they differ from the soybean chloroplast tRNA(Met) gene by only four nucleotides. Analysis of the flanking regions indicates that the mitochondrial tRNA(Met) gene is not present on a large chloroplast DNA insertion in the mitochondrial genome, but it suggests that they have a common origin. Comparison of the three genes and the evolutionary implications are discussed.

Abstract
ATP synthase from bovine mitochondria is a complex of 13 different polypeptides, whereas the Escherichia coli enzyme is simpler and contains eight subunits only. Two of the bovine subunits, b and d, which had not been characterized, have been isolated from the purified enzyme. Subunits with sizes corresponding to bovine subunits b and d are evident in preparations of the enzyme from mitochondria of other species. Partial protein sequences have been determined by direct methods. On the basis of some of this information, two oligonucleotide mixtures, 17 and 18 bases in length, have been synthesized and used as hybridization probes in the isolation of clones of the cognate cDNAs. The sequences of the two proteins have been deduced from their DNA sequences. Subunit b is 214 amino acid residues in length and has a free N terminus. Subunit d is 160 amino acid residues long. Its N-terminal alanine is blocked by an N-acetyl group, as demonstrated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of N-terminal peptides. The sequence near the N terminus of the b subunit is made predominantly of hydrophobic residues, whereas the remainder of the protein is mainly hydrophilic. This N-terminal hydrophobic region may be folded into an alpha-helical structure spanning the lipid bilayer. In its distribution of hydrophobic residues, this protein resembles the b subunits of ATP synthase complexes in bacteria and chloroplasts. The b subunit in E. coli forms an important structural link between the extramembrane sector of the enzyme F1, and the intrinsic membrane domain, FO. It is proposed that the bovine mitochondrial subunit b serves a similar function. If this is so, the mitochondrial enzyme, as the chloroplast ATP synthase, contains equivalent subunits to all eight of those that constitute the E. coli enzyme. Subunit d has no extensive hydrophobic sequences, and is not apparently related to any subunit described in the simpler ATP synthases in bacteria and chloroplasts.

Abstract
The regions of the spinach and pea chloroplast genomes containing the ATP synthase genes atpA, atpF and atpH have been sequenced. The encoded proteins, CF1 alpha, CF0I and CF0III, are well conserved between spinach and pea, and analogous to the alpha, b and c subunits of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase complex. The atpF gene is split by a single intron, and the exon/intron boundaries have been defined by isolating and sequencing a partial cDNA clone. Two other genes, designated atpI and rps2, located upstream from atpH, have also been sequenced. They encode a 27,000 Mr hydrophobic protein analogous to the F0a subunit of E. coli ATP synthase and a basic protein analogous to the S2 protein of the E. coli 30 S ribosomal subunit. Transcriptional analysis by electron microscopy of RNA-DNA hybrids, Northern blotting and primer extension experiments shows that these genes are transcribed and processed into a complex set of transcripts, with 5' ends mapping upstream from the rps2, atpI and atpH genes.

Abstract
The chloroplast gene for the epsilon subunit (atpE) of the CF1/CF0 ATPase in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been localized and sequenced. In contrast to higher plants, the atpE gene does not lie at the 3' end of the beta subunit (atpB) gene in the chloroplast genome of C. reinhardtii, but is located at a position 92 kb away in the other single copy region. The uninterrupted open reading frame for the atpE gene is 423 bp, and the epsilon subunit exhibits 43% derived amino acid homology to that from spinach. Codon usage for the atpE gene follows the restricted pattern seen in other C. reinhardtii chloroplast genes.The genes for the CF0 subunits I (atpF) and IV (atpI) of the ATPase complex have also been mapped on the chloroplast genome of C. reinhardtii. The six chloroplast ATPase genes in C. reinhardtii are dispersed individually between the two single copy regions of the chloroplast genome, an organization strikingly different from the highly conserved arrangement in two operon-like units seen in chloroplast genomes of higher plants.

Abstract
The genes encoding the beta (atpB) and epsilon (atpE) subunits of the ATPase from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 were cloned, and their sequences were determined. atpB and atpE are each single-copy genes in the Anabaena genome. The two genes are separated by a 96-base-pair intergenic spacer and transcribed as a single mRNA of 2.3 kilobases that initiates approximately 200 base pairs upstream of the atpB coding region. The predicted translation product of atpB has 81 and 68% amino acid identity with the corresponding proteins from spinach chloroplasts and Escherichia coli, respectively. The atpE gene product is less conserved, with 41 and 33% amino acid identity with the corresponding proteins from spinach chloroplasts and E. coli, respectively. The organization of the Anabaena atpB and atpE genes relative to adjacent genes differs from that of both E. coli and chloroplasts.

Abstract
At 76 min on the E. coli genetic map there is a cluster of genes affecting essential cellular functions, including the heat shock response and cell division. A combination of in-vivo and in-vitro genetic analysis of cell division mutants suggests that the cell division gene fts E is the second gene in a 3 gene operon. A cold-sensitive mutant, defective in the third gene, is also unable to divide at the restrictive temperature, and we designate this new cell division gene fts X. Another cell division gene, fts S, is very close to, but distinct from, the 3 genes of the operon. The fts E product is a 24.5 Kd polypeptide which shows strong homology with a small group of proteins involved in transport. Both the fts E product and the protein coded by the first gene (fts Y) in the operon have a sequence motif found in a wide range of heterogeneous proteins, including the Ras proteins of yeast. This common domain is indicative of a nucleotide-binding site.

Abstract
Comparison of the DNA sequences of the rbcL gene from three Nicotiana species reveals a high degree of homology among the 1431 bp in the coding region. Only eight base pair differences are observed between N. otophora and N. tabacum, and between N. otophora and N. acuminata. Four base pair differences are observed between N. acuminata and N. tabacum. Most changes are in the third position of the codon resulting in only two amino acid alterations when N. otophora and N. acuminata are compared with N. tabacum. Evidence is presented demonstrating that the amino acid compositions of the LS derived from the DNA sequence are related to the IEF cluster pattern. A single charged residue is responsible for the difference in cluster pattern.

Abstract
The chloroplast (cp)-encoded CF1 ATPase beta-subunit gene (atpB) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and its flanking regions have been sequenced. The derived amino acid (aa) sequence is highly homologous to that of the beta-subunit gene in Escherichia coli, bovine heart mitochondria, and higher plant cp. In contrast to all other cp genomes, the CF1 epsilon subunit gene (atpE) does not lie at the 3' end of the atpB gene but maps to a position 92 kb away in the other single-copy region. Northern blots confirm that the beta subunit is not encoded as part of a dicistronic message as it is in higher plants. The region just upstream from the atpB gene in C. reinhardtii contains two small open reading frames (ORFs) and not the gene for the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase as is found in cp genomes of higher plants. No transcripts for either ORF were detected, but the codon usage in these ORFs as well as in the atpB gene follows the unique pattern of codon usage previously seen in other cp genes in C. reinhardtii.

Abstract
The enzyme complex F1-ATPase has been isolated from bovine heart mitochondria by gel filtration of the enzyme released by chloroform from sub-mitochondrial particles. The five individual subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon that comprise the complex have been purified from it, and their amino acid sequences determined almost entirely by direct protein sequence analysis. A single overlap in the gamma-subunit was obtained by DNA sequence analysis of a complementary DNA clone isolated from a bovine cDNA library using a mixture of 32 oligonucleotides as the hybridization probe. The alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subunits contain 509, 480, 272, 146 and 50 amino acids, respectively. Two half cystine residues are present in the alpha-subunit and one in each of the gamma- and epsilon-chains; they are absent from the beta- and delta-subunits. The stoichiometry of subunits in the complex is estimated to be alpha 3 beta 3 gamma 1 delta 1 epsilon 1 and the molecular weight of the complex is 371,135. Mild trypsinolysis of the F1-ATPase complex, which has little effect on the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme, releases peptides from the N-terminal regions of the alpha- and beta-chains only; the C-terminal regions are unaffected. Sequence analysis of the released peptides demonstrates that the N terminals of the alpha- and beta-chains are ragged. In 65% of alpha-chains, the terminus is pyrrolidone carboxylic acid; in the remainder this residue is absent and the chains commence at residue 2, i.e. lysine. In the beta-subunit a minority of chains (16%) have N-terminal glutamine, or its deamidation product, glutamic acid (6%), or the cyclized derivative, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (5%). A further 28% commence at residue 2, alanine, and 45% at residue 3, serine. The delta-chains also are heterogeneous; in 50% of chains the N-terminal alanine residue is absent. The sequences of the alpha- and beta-chains show that they are weakly homologous, as they are in bacterial F1-ATPases. The sequence of the bovine delta-subunit of F1-ATPase shows that it is the counterpart of the bacterial epsilon-subunit. The bovine epsilon-subunit is not related to any known bacterial or chloroplast H+-ATPase subunit, nor to any other known sequence. The counterpart of the bacterial delta-subunit is bovine oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein, which helps to bind F1 to the inner mitochondrial membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The endpoints of an inversion in wheat chloroplast DNA are shown to be associated with copies of a short repeated sequence. Recombination across the repeats in an inverted configuration may have been responsible for the inversion, although they are currently in a direct orientation owing to a second inversion. The repeated sequence contains an element homologous to the core of the bacteriophage lambda att-site, which can function as such in vivo.
