β¦ Synopsis
The ribosomal RNA operons (rrn operons) of Euglena gracilis chloroplasts contain genes for (in order) 16S rRNA, tRNA ne, tRNA Ala, 23S rRNA and 5S rRNA. Major sites of cleavage of the primary rrn transcript were identified by Northern blot hybridization and S 1-mapping. The presumptive termini of all of the mature products have now been identified. During initial processing in the chloroplast, the primary transcript is cleaved between the two tRNAs and between the 23S and 5S rRNAs so as to separate the sequences found in the different mature rRNAs. Subsequently the tRNAs are separated from the rRNAs, further trimming provides the remaining proper ends, and the 3'ends of the tRNAs are added.

The mustard chloroplast gene rps16 is split by an 887 bp group II (or III) intron. Three RNA 5' ends upstream of the rps16 coding region define both the transcription start site and two RNA processing sites. The DNA region preceding the start site contains a procaryotic-type "-10" promoter element,
