Figure 1. Architecture of the chloroplast 70S ribosome.

Figure 1

  1. Structure of the chloroplast 70S ribosome. 50S subunit proteins are in blue, 23S rRNA in cyan, 5S rRNA in green, 4.5S rRNA in red, 30S subunit proteins in gold, 16S rRNA in pale yellow, E‐site tRNA in pink and translation factor pY in green. Plastid‐specific ribosomal proteins cS22, cS23, bTHXc, cL37 and cL38 are shown in red.
  2. Protein and rRNA elements conserved between chloroplast and bacterial 70S ribosome are in blue and grey, respectively. Chloroplast‐specific rRNA elements are shown in purple. Plastid‐specific ribosomal proteins and additional protein extensions are in red and yellow, respectively. Translation factor pY is shown in green. Structural landmarks of the 70S ribosome are indicated.
