Overexpression of the clpP 5'-Untranslated Region in a Chimeric Context Causes a Mutant Phenotype, Suggesting Competition for a clpP-Specific RNA Maturation Factor in Tobacco Chloroplasts1

The plastid ribosomal RNA (rrn) operon promoter was fused with DNA segments encoding the leader sequence (5'-- untranslated region [UTR]) of plastid mRNAs to compare their efficiency in mediating translation of a bacterial protein neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII) in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) ch...
