Abstract excerpt
Cyclophilins belong to a large family of enzymes called "peptidyl prolyl isomerases" that assist protein folding and assembly. The cyclophilin CYP20-3 (also known as "ROC4") is the only member of this group located in the stroma (soluble phase) of chloroplasts. In the present study we isolated mutant Arabidopsis plants defective in the CYP20-3 gene and found them to be hypersensitive to oxidative stress...
