The nucleotide sequence of a spacer region between 16S and 23S rRNA genes from tobacco chloroplasts has been determined. The spacer region is 2080 bp long and encodes tRNAIle and tRNAAla genes which contain intervening sequences of 707 bp and 710 bp, respectively. Strong homology between the two intervening sequences is observed. These spacer tRNAs are synthesized as part of an 8.2 kb precursor molecule containing 16S and 23S rRNA sequences.
烟草叶绿体16S和23S rRNA基因间间隔区的核苷酸序列已被测定。该间隔区长2080 bp,编码异亮氨酸tRNA和丙氨酸tRNA基因,它们分别含有707 bp和710 bp的间隔序列。观察到这两个间隔序列之间有很强的同源性。这些间隔区tRNA作为一个包含16S和23S rRNA序列的8.2 kb前体分子的一部分被合成。
