| Abstract: | The rplI gene encoding the ribosomal protein L9 was found 4 kbp downstream from the desA gene, but on the opposite strand, in the genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803. The deduced amino acid sequence is homologous to the sequences of the L9 proteins from Escherichia coli and chloroplasts of Arabidopsis and pea. The gene is present as a single copy in the chromosome and is transcribed as a mRNA of 0.64 kb. An open reading frame of unknown function (ORF291) was found in the upstream region of the rplI gene. |
