Translational Recoding Corrects Frameshift Mutations in Chloroplasts
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellMalinova et al. provide genetic and biochemical evidence for ribosomal frameshifting in chloroplasts. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab050
By Irina Malinova and Stephan Greiner
Background: Translational recoding or ribosomal frameshifting - a process when ribosomes either omit nucleotide(s)…
