Translational Regulation in the Chloroplast

TRANSLATIONAL REGULATION IN THE CHLOROPLAST Gene expression is potentially amenable to regulation at different points along the linear path from a gene to a functional protein. To control gene expression the regulatory event has to occur at a limiting rate. Chloroplast gene expression has been shown to be primarily regulated by posttranscriptional events, including transcript stability, translation, protein turnover, and protein activity. An increasing body of data has demonstrated the significant role
