Clone bank of Nicotiana tabacum chloroplast DNA: mapping of the alpha, beta and epsilon subunits of the ATPase coupling factor, the large subunit of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase, and the 32-kDal membrane protein.
All of the PstI restriction fragments of the chloroplast DNA of Nicotiana tabacum have been cloned in the plasmid vector pBR322. The cloned fragment sizes range from 0.8 to 26 kb, are stable, and can be amplified by chloramphenicol with varying efficiencies. Using these clones we have detailed a PstI physical map of the tobacco chloroplast genome. Selected clones of SalI, BamHI and PstI fragments were used to localize the map positions of the alpha, beta, and epsilon subunits of the chloroplast ATPase coupling factor, the large subunit of ribulosediphosphate carboxylase and the 32-kDal membrane protein. The gene products of these clones were characterized by RNA transcript sizing, immunoprecipitation of maxicell-directed protein synthesis, and hybrid-arrested translation.
