Chloroplasts are intracellular organdies in plants which contain the entire machinery
necessary for the process of photosynthesis. They also participate in the biosynthesis of …

Members of a family of proteins containing a conserved∼ 80-amino acid RNA recognition
motif (RRM) bind specifically to a wide variety of RNA molecules. Structural studies, in …

Regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level is mainly achieved by
proteins containing well-defined sequence motifs involved in RNA binding. The most widely …

The molecular basis for the photosynthetic defect in four nuclear mutants of maize was
investigated. Mutants hcf7, cps1-1, cps1-2, and cps2 contained reduced levels of many …

The expression of the plastid genome is dependent on a large number of nucleus-encoded
factors. Some of these factors have been identified through biochemical assays, and many …

Chloroplasts contain their own genetic system which has a number of prokaryotic as well as
some eukaryotic features. Most chloroplast genes of higher plants are organized in clusters …

Nucleolin is a major protein of exponentially growing eukaryotic cells where it is present in
abundance at the heart of the nucleolus. It is highly conserved during evolution. Nucleolin …

Ozone (O3), a serious air pollutant, is known to significantly reduce photosynthesis, growth,
and yield and to cause foliar injury and senescence. Here, integrated transcriptomics …

Chloroplast RNA metabolism is mediated by a multitude of nuclear encoded factors, many of
which are highly specific for individual RNA processing events. In addition, a family of …

RNA editing in higher plant chloroplasts involves C→ U conversion at∼ 30 specific sites. An
in vitro system supporting accurate editing has been developed from tobacco chloroplasts …
