Abstract:
Ishige okamurae plays an important role in marine ecosystem and biological resource utilization. The total length of chloroplast genome was 129,988 bp, containing a large single-copy region (LSC, 77,531 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 41,795 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 10,662 bp). The circular genome consisted of 101 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and six rRNA genes, with a total of 136. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the position of I. okamurae within the Phaeophyta.

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.
