Arabidopsis GENOMES UNCOUPLED PROTEIN1 binds to plastid RNAs and promotes their maturation

This study identifies GUN1's molecular function as RNA binding and maturation by analyzing plastid transcriptomes and validating targets through RNA immunoprecipitation.

The Chloroplast RNA Binding Protein CP29A supports rbcL expression during cold acclimation

MatK impacts Differential Chloroplast Translation of Ribosomal and Photosynthetic genes by limiting spliced tRNA-K(UUU) abundance

The paper investigates how MatK affects chloroplast translation by influencing tRNA-K(UUU) abundance, leading to differential expression of ribosomal and photosynthetic genes.

The prion-like domain of the chloroplast RNA binding protein CP29A is required for cold-induced phase separation next to nucleoids and supports RNA splicing and translation during cold acclimation

This study shows that the prion-like domain of CP29A enables temperature-dependent phase separation in Arabidopsis, supporting RNA splicing and translation during cold acclimation.

The Arabidopsis AAC Proteins CIL and CIA2 Are Sub-functionalized Paralogs involved in Chloroplast Development

This study shows that Arabidopsis CIL and CIA2, paralogous genes involved in chloroplast development, have partially overlapping functions, with CIL localized to the nucleus and CIA2 possibly localized to chloroplasts.

Chloroplast cold-resistance is mediated by the acidic domain of the RNA binding protein CP31A

Cold exposure increases RNA binding of CP31A, which mediates cold resistance in Arabidopsis through its acidic domain.

Metabolic labeling of RNAs uncovers hidden features and dynamics of the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome

This study uses 5-EU metabolic labeling in Arabidopsis to analyze nascent and unstable RNAs, revealing shorter RNA half-lives than previously reported with chemical inhibitors.
