Abstract excerpt
In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the ClpP protease is encoded by an essential chloroplast gene. Mutating its AUG translation initiation codon to AUU reduced ClpP accumulation to 25 to 45% of that of the wild type. Both the mature protein and the putative precursor containing its insertion sequence were present in reduced amounts. Attenuation of ClpP did not affect growth rates under normal conditions...
