RESUMO
The flanking regions and the end of the chloroplast ribosomal unit of Chlamydomonas reinhardii have been sequenced. The upstream region of the ribosomal unit contains three open reading frames coding for 111, 117 and 124 amino acids, respectively. The latter polypeptide is partially related to the ribosomal protein L16 of E. coli. Two of the open reading frames overlap each other and are oriented in opposite direction. The region between these open reading frames and the 5' end of the 16S rRNA gene contains numerous short direct and inverted repeats which can be folded into large stem-loop structures. Sequence elements that resemble prokaryotic promoters are found in the same region. Several of the repeated elements are distributed throughout the non-coding regions of the chloroplast inverted repeat. Sequence comparison between the 5S rRNA and its gene does not reveal any significant sequence heterogeneity between the chloroplast 5S rRNA genes.
