The locations of transfer RNA genes with respect to the restriction endonuclease cleavage map of Euglena gracilis Klebs, strain Z Pringsheim chloroplast DNA have been determined. Purified chloroplast tRNAs were treated with snake venom phosphodiesterase to remove the 3'-CCA terminus, and radioactively labeled by the action of Escherichia coli tRNA nucleotidyltransferase in the presence of [alpha-32P]CTP. Chloroplast DNA was treated individually and with combinations of the enzymes Bal I, Bam HI, Eco RI, Pst I, Pvu II, Sal I, and Xho I. The location of tRNA genes with respect to the cleavage sites for these enzymes was determined by hybridization of the 32P-labeled tRNAs to membrane filter blots of the chloroplast DNA restriction nuclease fragments following gel electrophoresis. The 145-kilobase pair genome was resolved into nine areas of strong tRNA hybridization, separated by areas of weak or no tRNA hybridization. The loci of tRNA genes are within the Eco RI fragments Eco A, B, G, H, I, J', P, Q, and V.

The three tandemly repeated ribosomal RNA operons from the chloroplast genome of Euglena gracilis Klebs, Pringsheim Strain Z each contain a 5 S rRNA gene distal to the 23 S rRNA gene (Gray, P.W., and Hallick, R.B. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 1820-1825). We have cloned two distinct 5 S rRNA genes, and determined the DNA sequence of the genes, their 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences, and the 3'-end of the adjacent 23 S rRNA genes. The two genes exhibit sequence polymorphism at five bases within the "procaryotic loop" coding region, as well as internal restriction endonuclease site heterogeneity. These restriction endonuclease site polymorphisms are evident in chloroplast DNA, and not just the cloned examples of 5 S genes. Chloroplast 5 S rRNA was isolated, end labeled, and sequenced by partial enzymatic degradation. The same polymorphisms found in 5 S rDNA are present in 5 S rRNA. Therefore, both types of 5 S rRNA genes are transcribed and are present in chloroplast ribosomes.
