Abstract excerpt
In organelles, the posttranscriptional steps of gene expression are tightly controlled by nucleus-encoded factors, most often acting in a gene-specific manner. Despite the molecular identification of a growing number of factors, their mode of action remains largely unknown. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, expression of the chloroplast petA gene, which codes for cytochrome f, depends on two specific...
