The nucleotide sequence has been determined of a 12,368 base-pair region of DNA cloned from the non-sulphur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas blastica. It contains a cluster of six genes of which five encode the subunits of F1-ATPase; the sixth codes for an unknown protein. The genes are arranged in the same order as in the Escherichia coli unc operon, except that the unknown gene is placed between those for gamma and beta subunits. Neither the genes for F0 subunits, nor a homologue of the E. coli uncI gene is associated with this locus. The six genes are transcribed from a single promoter and we have designated this region the R. blastica atp operon. The two distal genes, beta and epsilon, may also be transcribed from a second promoter. Initiation and termination points for transcription have been identified by primer extensions and S1 nuclease mapping experiments. Signals involved in initiation of translation (Shine and Dalgarno sequences) and termination of transcription in the photosynthetic bacterium resemble those in E. coli. However, no common features can be identified in these two bacteria between 5' regions adjacent to sites of initiation of transcription. The sequence also contains a gene that encodes a protein homologous to discoidin, a cell surface lectin of Dictyostelium discoideum thought to be involved in cell--cell aggregation. Seven other reading frames have not been identified.
