RNA editing in ribosome-less plastids of iojap maize.

Abstract excerpt

In maize chloroplasts, 28 C-to-U editing events have been identified in the transcripts of 14 different genes. The iojap mutant of maize, which lacks chloroplast ribosomes, affords the opportunity to examine whether any chloroplast translation products are required for the editing of any of the 28 sites. Furthermore, the mode of action of the IOJAP protein itself is unknown, so we explored the possibility that...
