Data indicate that SUPPRESSOR OF VARIEGATION 4 (SVR4, At4g28590) and SVR4-like (At2g31840) are required for proper function of the plastid transcriptional machinery.
Title: SVR4 (suppressor of variegation 4) and SVR4-like: two proteins with a role in proper organization of the chloroplast genetic machinery.

AtECB1 may play a role in thioredoxin signaling to regulate plastid gene expression and chloroplast development. [ECB1]
Title: AtECB1/MRL7, a thioredoxin-like fold protein with disulfide reductase activity, regulates chloroplast gene expression and chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Chloroplast development was arrested upon loss of MRL7 function and the expression of plastid-encoded genes transcribed by plastid-encoded RNA polymerase was significantly reduced in MRL7 knock-down and knock-out plants.
Title: Two novel proteins, MRL7 and its paralog MRL7-L, have essential but functionally distinct roles in chloroplast development and are involved in plastid gene expression regulation in Arabidopsis.
