Project description:Identification of target transcripts for the putative chloroplast RNA binding protein CFM2 in Zea mays. CFM2 was immunoprecipitated from a chloroplast extract. Chloroplast extracts were prepared from WT tissue. RNA from the pellet and from the supernatant for each pulldown was labelled with different fluoro-dyes and hybridized onto an array covering the complete maize chloroplast genome. Messages enriched in the immunoprecipitate from WT tissue are likely targets for CFM2.
Project description:Identification of target transcripts for the putative chloroplast RNA binding protein CRP1 in Zea mays. CRP1 was immunoprecipitated from a chloroplast extract. Chloroplast extracts were prepared from WT and CRP1-deficient tissue. RNA from the pellet and from the supernatant for each pulldown was labelled with different fluoro-dyes and hybridized onto an array covering the complete maize chloroplast genome. Messages enriched in the immunoprecipitate from WT tissue, but not enriched in mutant tissue are likely targets for CRP1.
Project description:In this study, we have characterized a putative chloroplast ribosome assembly factor. To elucidate transcriptional responses caused by decreased chloroplast function, we have measured the transcriptome of wild-type and knock-down seedlings.
