✦ Synopsis
We have isolated and analyzed cDNA clones for a Silene pratensis chlorophyll-a/b-binding protein (CAB) and a small subunit (SS) of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase. These cDNA clones contain the coding information for the complete transit peptides. The CAB clone codes for a divergent CAB protein that differs from most published CAB sequences in both the transit peptide part and in the amino terminal part of the mature protein, a region with an important regulatory function. The SS clone codes for a precursor that is homologous to other published precursor sequences. In the mature part some non-conservative changes are observed. Silene cDNA clones for four chloroplast specific precursor proteins that are directed towards three different chloroplast compartments have been analyzed and the transit peptides compared.

We have isolated and characterized a full-length cDNA clone encoding the precursor of the small subunit (pSU) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RUBISCO) from the green alga, Chlamydomonas moewusii. Comparison with the C. reinhardtii rbcS1 gene sequence reveals that both small subun
The cloning of small GTP-binding proteins from Petunia hybrida was performed using a PCR-based strategy. Degenerate primers were designed from the DTAGQE and FMETSA consensus sequences. Three different cDNAs were amplified. The deduced polypeptide sequences PhPCRGP1 and PhPCRGP2 were homologous to R
