Abstract excerpt
Protein synthesis is catalyzed by the ribosome, a two-subunit enzyme comprised of four ribosomal RNAs and, in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), 81 ribosomal proteins (r-proteins). Plant r-protein genes exist as families of multiple expressed members, yet only one r-protein from each family is incorporated into any given ribosome, suggesting that many r-protein genes may be functionally redundant or...
