Ubiquitin Goes Green

Zhihua Hua et al. Trends Cell Biol. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

Chloroplasts depend on the nucleus for much of their proteome. Consequently, strong transcriptional coordination exists between the genomes, which is attuned to the developmental and physiological needs of the organelle. Recent studies highlight that the post-translational modifier ubiquitin adds another layer to plastid homeostasis and even helps eliminate damaged chloroplasts.

Keywords: Chloroplast; Degradation; Ubiquitin.
