A type I cab gene encoding chlorophyll a and b binding protein from lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl., var. latifolia (Engelm.)) has been isolated and sequenced. The gene encodes a proposed 40 amino acid transit peptide and a 234 amino acid mature CAB polypeptide. There is no evidence of an intron and examination of the type-specific amino acids confirm this to be a photosystem II type I cab gene. The coding region is highly conserved with a similar gene from Scots pine, the homology extending into the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions. Sequence comparison of the 1-kb region upstream of the translation start codon from the lodgepole pine cab gene exhibited little similarity to identified regulatory regions in pea, tobacco, wheat, and Arabidopsis cab genes. The cab gene, which is 62% G + C rich, is surrounded by 70–75% A + T rich regions, which may confer some regulatory feature on its expression.Key words: chlorophyll a/b binding protein, gymnosperm, lodgepole pine, photosystem II type I cab gene.

Abstract In most higher plants the genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase comprise a small gene family, usually with two members. The Adh1 gene of Petunia has been cloned and analyzed, but a second identifiable gene was not recovered from any of three genomic libraries. We have therefore employed the polymerase chain reaction to obtain the major portion of a second Adh gene. From sequence, mapping and northern data we conclude this gene encodes ADH2, the major anaerobically inducible Adh gene of Petunia. The availability of both Adh1 and Adh2 from Petunia has permitted us to compare their structures and patterns of expression to those of the well-studied Adh genes of maize, of which one is highly expressed developmentally, while both are induced in response to hypoxia. Despite their evolutionary distance, evidenced by deduced amino acid sequence as well as taxonomic classification, the pairs of genes are regulated in strikingly similar ways in maize and Petunia. Our findings suggest a significant biological basis for the regulatory strategy employed by these distant species for differential expression of multiple Adh genes.
