In vitro analysis of the pea chloroplast 16S rRNA gene promoter.
A cloned pea chloroplast 16S rRNA gene promoter has been characterized in detail by use of a homologous in vitro transcription system that contains a highly purified chloroplast RNA polymerase. The in vivo and in vitro 16S rRNA transcriptional start site has been identified to be a T on the plus strand, 158 bases upstream of the mature 5' end of the gene. BAL 31 deletions of the 16S rRNA leader region demonstrated that the bases between -66 to +30 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1) are necessary for specific 16S transcription. Disruption of canonical TTGACA or TATAAT elements within this region caused complete transcriptional inactivation and prevented protein binding. The topological requirement for 16S transcription was examined by using a construct that synthesized a transcript from the 16S promoter and released it from a pea plastid putative terminator sequence. This minigene was relaxed in vitro with a topoisomerase I from pea chloroplast. It was shown that the 16S promoter was most active when the minigene plasmid was supercoiled.
