Abstract excerpt
Plastid transcription is mediated by two distinct types of RNA polymerases (RNAPs), bacterial-type RNAP (PEP) and phage-type RNAP (NEP). Recent genomic and proteomic studies revealed that higher plants have lost most prokaryotic transcription regulators and have acquired eukaryotic-type proteins during plant evolution. However, in vivo dynamics of chloroplast RNA polymerases and eukaryotic-type plastid nucleoid...
