Chloroplast in Translation: How the tomato RNA-binding protein SlRBP1 regulates translation of nuclear transcripts that encode chloroplast proteins

Ma et al. reveal the role of a key tomato RNA-binding protein in translating the nuclear transcripts that encode chloroplast proteins via its association with a eukaryotic translation initiation factor Background: The nuclear genome encodes most of the proteins that are found in chloroplasts; these proteins are translated in the cytoplasm and imported into the […]
