The chloroplast ribosomal intron of Chlamydomonas reinhardii codes for a polypeptide related to mitochondrial maturases.
The sequences of the 888bp chloroplast ribosomal intron and of the flanking 23S rRNA gene regions of Chlamydomonasreinhardii have been established. The intron can be folded with a secondary structure which is typical of group I introns of fungal mitochondrial genes. It contains a 489bp open reading frame encoding a potential polypeptide that is related to mitochondrial maturases.
