| Abstract |
cDNA clones encoding the precursor of the Rieske FeS protein of tobacco chloroplasts have been characterised and shown to derive from two different genes. The 5' ends of the corresponding transcripts have been cloned using primer extension and PCR. The nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs (and their 5' extensions) predict precursors for the tobacco proteins which differ in 4 amino acid residues out of a total of 228 residues and show high homology with the pea and spinach precursors. The tobacco precursor proteins contain N-terminal presequences of 49 amino acid residues which lack 17 amino acid residues present at the N-terminus of the spinach presequence. The 26 kDa precursor obtained by transcription and translation of one of these cDNAs in vitro was efficiently imported and correctly processed to the mature 20 kDa protein by isolated pea or tobacco chloroplasts. The precursor was also processed to its mature size by a peptidase present in the stroma of chloroplasts. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2022.
All research outputs
#3,339,101
of 23,151,189 outputs
Outputs from Plant Molecular Biology
#133
of 2,848 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,035
of 19,236 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Molecular Biology
#1
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,151,189 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,848 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 19,236 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
