This project investigates the mechanisms that rescue stalled ribosomes in chloroplasts, which are crucial for photosynthesis. By studying specific proteins and their interactions, the project aims to enhance our understanding of chloroplast function and its implications for biotechnology and crop improvement.
Photosynthesis produces all organic material on Earth.
In plants, photosynthesis depends on active protein synthesis in chloroplasts to set up photosynthetic complexes.
Due to their endosymbiotic origin (from cyanobacteria), chloroplasts contain an independent genome and internal transcription and translation machinery with bacterial type 70S-like ribosomes.
Ribosomes may stall due to transcription errors, misprocessed transcripts, translation mistakes, missing tRNA, mutations, or strong mRNA-fo…
