Abstract excerpt
ClpP4 is a nuclear-encoded plastid protein that functions as a proteolytic subunit of the ATP-dependent Clp protease of higher plants. Given the lack of viable clpP4 knockout mutants, antisense clpP4 repression lines were prepared to study the functional importance of ClpP4 in Arabidopsis thaliana. Screening of transformants revealed viable lines with up to 90% loss of wild type levels of ClpP4 protein, while...
