High impact information on rpl23

A novel gene, roaA (ribosomal operon-associated gene), encoding a potential RNA-binding protein has been identified in the rpl23 ribosomal protein operon of the Euglena gracilis chloroplast genome [1].
Inverted repeat sequences are found in the upstream flanking region of rpl23 and downstream from rps3 [2].

Biological context of rpl23

The introns found in rpl23 (106, 99 and 103 bp), rps19 (103 and 97 bp) and rps3 intron 2 (102 bp) appear to represent either a new class of chloroplast intron found only in constitutively expressed genes, or possibly a degenerate version of Euglena chloroplast group II introns [2].
