Abstract:

P61 was a protein identified from chloroplasts of Nongken 58S, a male sterile mutant of rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica). Microsequence analysis has revealed that its N-terminal sequence was identical to N-termini of ATPase β subunits of chloroplasts from rice and barley. The antiserum produced using ATPase β subunit from maize specifically recognized P61. P61 had the same molecular weight as the chloroplast ATPase β subunit of wild-type rice “Nongken 58”, but had different isoelectric point (pI) from this β　subunit. P61 was more basic than this β subunit. Thus, P61 would be identified as an isoform of the chloroplast ATPase β subunit of rice, named β1. Genetic analysis with a F2 population of Nongken 58SדNongken 58” showed that a single recessive genic gene regulated the formation of β1.
