• OsCpn60alpha1, encoding the plastid chaperonin 60alpha subunit, is essential for folding of rbcL, 2013, Mol Cells.

Genbank accession number

• The oscpn60alpha1 mutant had a pale-green phenotype at the seedling stage and development ceased after the fourth leaf appeared
• This demonstrated that OsCpn60alpha1 is required for the folding of rbcL and that failure of that process is seedling-lethal
• Transiently expressed OsCpn60alpha1:GFP fusion protein was localized to the chloroplast stroma
