Abstract excerpt
The acetate-requiring Chlamydomonas reinhardtii nuclear mutant F16 harbors the mutation mcd1-1 and fails to accumulate the cytochrome b6/f complex. The primary defect of mcd1-1 was determined to be the instability of petD mRNA, which encodes subunit IV of the complex. Chimeric reporter genes introduced by chloroplast transformation demonstrated that the determinant of petD mRNA instability in the mcd1-1...
