Grant Activity:
Regulators of protein translation reveal new pathways to plant productivity
Purpose:
This proposal aims to make transformative insights into the control of photosynthetic protein production. Photosynthesis is a key target for crop improvement that can address global food security. Improving photosynthesis requires precision control of photosynthetic proteins. It was unknown how this is achieved at the level of protein production. Excitingly, the team discovered how cellular protein production changes in response to photosynthetic demand. The project strives to uncover how clusters of RNAs are decayed or translated into new proteins based on RNA features and linked binding proteins. This will allow manipulation of the accumulation of target proteins towards the goal of revealing unexplored ways to improve photosynthesis.
