Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Mesua ferrea were reported in this study. The cpDNA of M. ferrea is 161,470 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,760 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,482 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,614 bp. The genome contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.4%. Phylogenetic analysis of 30 chloroplast genomes within the order Malpighiales suggests that M. ferrea is closely related to Garcinia mangostana.

Protein Transport to the Outer Chloroplast Membrane
Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
