    Notes: Abstract Epifluorescence microscopy revealed the presence of a methanogenic bacterium as an endosymbiont in the sapropelic marine ciliate Metopus contortus. The in situ methanogenic activity of the symbiont could be demonstrated. The isolated endosymbiont was an irregular, disc-shaped bacterium with a diameter of 1.6–3.4 μm. It had a generation time of 7 or 12 hours on growth on H2/CO2 or formate, respectively. The temperature range for growth was between 16 and 36°C with an optimum at 32°C. The optimal pH range for growth was 6.8 to 7.3. Salts, with an optimum concentration of 0.25 M, and tungsten were required for growth. The mol% G+C was 38.7%. The cell envelope consisted of proteins and a glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 110,000. Morphology, antigenic relationship and the G+C content established the isolate MC1 as a new species of the genus Methanoplanus, and the name Methanoplanus endosymbiosus is proposed.

    Notes: Summary Summary Several cDNA clones encoding the entire Rieske FeS-precursor protein of the chloroplast cytochrome b 6 f-complex have been isolated by high density plaque immunoscreening of a phage lambda gt11 cDNA expression library, made from poly A+-RNA of spinach seedlings. The identity of the cDNAs has been confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified protein. The nucleotide sequence indicates a protein of 247 amino acid residues including a putative transit sequence of 68 amino acids corresponding to molecular masses of 26.3 kDa (precursor) and 18.8 kDa (mature protein; 179 amino acid residues). Alignteins of the sequence with sequences from Rieske FeS-proteins of respiratory electron transport chains, two of bacterial and three of mitochondrial origin, shows little sequence homology, but remarkable similarity in secondary structure including a putative N-terminal transmembrane segment of about 25 residues and the peptides CTHLGCV and CPCHGS in the C-terminal region of the protein that are involved in the binding of the Fe2S2-cluster.

    Nucleotide sequence of cDNA clones encoding the complete “33 kDa” precursor protein associated with the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex from spinach (1987)

    Notes: Summary Several cDNA clones encoding the “33 kDa” protein associated with the photosynthetic water oxidation activity of spinach were sequenced. A 1208 bp insert of one of the clones encodes the entire 331 amino acid residues of the precursor protein including 84 amino acids (8.5 kDa) of the amino-terminal transit peptide, 49 bp of the 5′ and 111 bp of the 3′ untranslated segment of the mRNA. The 3′ poly(A) tail starts 19 bp downstream from a putative polyadenylation signal, TATAAA. The hydrophilic mature protein consists of 247 amino acid residues corresponding to an Mr of 26.5 kDa, which is 6.5 kDa smaller than the value determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (33–34 kDa), and shows a certain degree of conservation with the putative Mn-complexing active sites of bacterial Mn-dependent superoxide dismutases. The anatomy of the unusually long transit sequence is discussed with regard to current concepts of protein import into and protein routein within the organelle.
