摘要
The 3.0 kb BglⅡ+XbaⅠrestriction fragment of millet(Setaria italica) chloroplast genome containing rbcL gene had been cloned into pBluescript SK (-) vector, then the restriction map and the 1990 bp complete nucleotide sequence was determined. The 1431 bp coding region of the gene consists of 476 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 52679 D. The 389 bp 5′ upstream region has the putative -10 box, -35 box and SD sequence, similar to that of procaryotes. The 170 bp 3′ downstream region contains three stem loop structures. Comparison of the rbcL gene sequences between C 4 plants and several C 3 plants reveals no difference in the coding region, promoter and 3′ downstream region. It might be concluded that the rbcL gene sequence has no relation with its cell specific expression.
谷子（Ｓｅｔａｒｉａ ｉｔａｌｉｃａ）叶绿体ＤＮＡ 含有ｒｂｃＬ基因的３．０ ｋｂ Ｂｇｌ Ⅱ＋ ＸｂａⅠ酶切片段被克隆到ｐＢｌｕｅｓｃｒｉｐｔ ＳＫ （－ ）质粒载体上，并构建了该基因的限制性酶切图谱，测定了该基因的１９９０ ｂｐ 全序列。其中基因的编码区长１４３１ ｂｐ，共编码４７６ 个氨基酸，推测其分子量为５２６７９ Ｄ。其３８９ ｂｐ 的５′上游区含有类似于原核生物的－ １０ ｂｏｘ、－ ３５ ｂｏｘ 和ＳＤ序列。其１７０ ｂｐ ３′下游区含有３ 个茎环结构。对Ｃ４ 植物和Ｃ３ 植物中的ｒｂｃＬ基因序列进行比较，表明在编码区、启动区和３′下游区没有差别。由此认为Ｃ４
