High impact information on RPL4

  • We have cloned and sequenced the cDNA and the gene coding for plastid ribosomal protein L4 (RPL4) from two higher plant species, spinach and Arabidopsis thaliana [1].
  • Sequence comparison of the two plant cDNAs and genes shows that the RPL4 gene has acquired a remarkable 3' extension during evolutionary transfer to the nuclear genome [1].
 

Biological context of RPL4

  • Co-purification of ribosomal protein L4 with plastid RNA polymerase and transcription factor CDF2 using different purification protocols as well as the surprising amino acid sequence of the L4 protein make it a likely candidate to play a role in plastid transcriptional regulation [1].
 

Anatomical context of RPL4

  • The nuclear RPL4 gene encodes a chloroplast protein that co-purifies with the T7-like transcription complex as well as plastid ribosomes [1].
