Abstract excerpt
To understand the functional significance of RNA processing for the expression of plastome-encoded photosynthesis genes, we investigated the nuclear mutation hcf107 of Arabidopsis. The mutation is represented by two alleles, both of which lead to a defective photosystem II (PSII). In vivo protein labeling, in vitro phosphorylation, and immunoblot experiments revealed that the psbB gene product (CP47) and an 8-kD...
