Solving the riddle of the evolution of Shine-Dalgarno based translation in chloroplasts
I. Weiner, N. Shahar, P. Marcu, I. Yacoby, T. Tuller
The paper investigates the evolution of Shine-Dalgarno-based translation in chloroplasts, showing that upstream mutations reduce ribosome binding by altering ribosomal RNA structure, and that these features exist in modern cyanobacteria.
