Chloroplast ribosomes Comparison of a chloroplast ribosome (green) and a bacterial ribosome (yellow). Important features common to both ribosomes and chloroplast-unique features are labeled. Chloroplasts have their own ribosomes, which they use to synthesize a small fraction of their proteins. read more
Chloroplast (especially in chlamydomonas and epifagus) transcribe Some of their own photosynthetic protein like Rubisco enzyme (rbcL gene) and other genes like atpB, atpE, psbA are expressed. - Chloroplast in Euglena expresses genes like tufA gene, rRNA genes, Some tRNA genes, and ribosomal protein genes. read more
