Abstract excerpt
Translation of the chloroplast psbC mRNA in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been shown previously to require interactions between its 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) and the functions encoded by two nuclear loci, which we name here TBC1 and TBC2. We show that a 97-nucleotide (nt) region located in the middle of the psbC 5' UTR is required for translation initiation. Unlike most procaryotic cis-acting translational...
