title: Structure and characterization of the gene encoding the ferredoxin-NADP reductase-binding protein from Zea mays L.
abstract: A genomic clone encoding ferredoxin-NADP reductase binding protein (BP) from Zea mays L. was sequenced and characterized. The promoter region (692 bp) shows several motives resembling those involved in enhancement, tissue-specific expression and light regulation in plants, besides the typical TATA and CAAT boxes. The coding sequence is interrupted by two introns. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence corresponds to 22.85 kDa for the precursor polypeptide, including a transit peptide of 64 aa and a mature protein of 148 aa.
