Data suggest that, at ATP concentrations that promote FLN1 homomeric interactions, the FLN1-FLN2 hetero-oligomer is dominant form in vitro; FLN1 associates with a large protein complex in chloroplasts independent of ATP.

The Rubisco content in fln2-4 was low, but it rapidly accumulated during the greening of fln2-4. Expression of a nuclear-encoded rbcL gene facilitates Rubisco accumulation and partially complements the mutant defects. These results suggest that the Rubisco accumulation is critical for fln2-4 greening. [FLN2]
Title: Rubisco accumulation is important for the greening of the fln2-4 mutant in Arabidopsis.

proposed the partial PEP activity in the fln2 mutant allowed plastids to develop into fully functional chloroplasts when exogenous sucrose was supplied, and finally the mutants exhibited green phenotype
Title: The reduced plastid-encoded polymerase-dependent plastid gene expression leads to the delayed greening of the Arabidopsis fln2 mutant.

FLN1 and FLN2 are essential for growth and development.
Title: The plastid-localized pfkB-type carbohydrate kinases FRUCTOKINASE-LIKE 1 and 2 are essential for growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Data strongly suggests an important role for TRX z and both FLNs in the regulation of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase-dependent transcription in chloroplasts. [FLN2]
