Abstract
Sequences of 118 mRNAs of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in the G enBank data base were compiled to examine the consensus sequence surroundin g the AUG translation initiation codon. The consensus sequence for C. reinh ardtii was found to be gc(A/C)A(A/C)(A/C) <(AUG)under bar>GC. The AUG conte xt of chloroplast proteins (nuclear coded) and non-chloroplast proteins wer e compared by a separate compilation, and some distinctive features in AUG context of chloroplast proteins were found.
