Regulation of gene expression and functional analyses of chloroplast-localized chaperonin 60 under environmental stresses in the model unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
1 To elucidate the subunit configuration and stoichiometry between CPN60A and CPN60B as well as their natural substrates under normal and stress conditions.
2 To identify cis-acting elements within the promoter sequence of the chaperonin gene and important transcription factors that confers enhanced expression under stress conditions.
