title: The primary structure of the Cl(-)-translocating ATPase, b subunit of Acetabularia acetabulum, which belongs to the F-type ATPase family.
abstract: The genes possibly encoding the b subunit (50 kDa) of the Cl(-)-translocating ATPase of Acetabularia acetabulum were cloned from total RNA and from poly(A)+ RNA and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of the open reading frame consisted of 478 amino acids and showed high similarity to the beta subunit of chloroplast F1-ATPase. Gene fragments encoding the putative beta subunit of chloroplast F1- (273 bp) and mitochondrial F1-ATPases (332 bp) were also cloned from A. acetabulum and sequenced, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the chloroplast F1-ATPase showed 92.5% identity to be primary structure of the b subunit of the Cl(-)-translocating ATPase, while the nucleotide sequences were 79.9% identical. The deduced amino acid sequence of the latter was 77.3% identical to that of the b subunit of the Cl(-)-translocating ATPase and the nucleotide sequences were 67.5% identical. By Northern analysis, these three beta-like genes were demonstrated to be transcribed with different sizes of RNA species. A putative chloroplast F1-beta fragment also hybridized with chloroplast DNA isolated from the organism.
