Abstract excerpt
Although the essential role of messenger RNA methylation in the nucleus is increasingly understood, the nature of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) methyltransferases and the role of rRNA methylation in chloroplasts remain largely unknown. A recent study revealed that CMAL (for Chloroplast mr aW- Like) is a chloroplast-localized rRNA methyltransferase that is responsible for N4-methylcytidine (m4 C) in 16S chloroplast rRNA in...
