What is AtRsmD Is Required for Chloroplast Development and Chloroplast Function in Arabidopsis thaliana about?
AtRsmD was recently demonstrated to be a chloroplast __16S rRNA__ methyltransferase (MTase) for the m^2^G915 modification in Arabidopsis. Here, its function of AtRsmD for chloroplast development and photosynthesis was further analyzed. The __AtRsmD__ gene is highly expressed in green photosynthetic tissues. AtRsmD is associated with the thylakoid in chloroplasts. The __atrsmd-2__ mutant exhibited impaired photosynthetic efficiency in emerging leaves under normal growth conditions. A few thylakoid lamellas could be observed in the chloroplast from the __atrsmd-2__ mutant, and these thylakoids were loosely organized. Knockout of the __AtRsmD__ gene had minor effects on chloroplast ribosome biogenesis and RNA loading on chloroplast ribosomes, but it reduced the amounts of chloroplast-encoded photosynthesis-related proteins in the emerging leaves, for example, D1, D2, CP43, and CP47, which reduced the accumulation of the photosynthetic complex. Nevertheless, knockout of the __AtRsmD__ gene did not cause a general reduction in chloroplast-encoded proteins in Arabidopsis grown under normal growth conditions. Additionally, the __atrsmd-2__ mutant exhibited more sensitivity to lincomycin,
