APO1 promotes the splicing of chloroplast group II introns and harbors a plant-specific zinc-dependent RNA binding domain.
Arabidopsis thaliana APO1 is required for the accumulation of the chloroplast photosystem I and NADH dehydrogenase complexes and had been proposed to facilitate the incorporation of [4Fe-4S] clusters into these complexes. The identification of maize (Zea mays) APO1 in coimmunoprecipitates with a protein involved in chloroplast RNA splicing prompted us to investigate a role for APO1 in splicing....
متن کاملA plant-specific RNA-binding domain revealed through analysis of chloroplast group II intron splicing.
Comparative genomics has provided evidence for numerous conserved protein domains whose functions remain unknown. We identified a protein harboring "domain of unknown function 860" (DUF860) as a component of group II intron ribonucleoprotein particles in maize chloroplasts. This protein, assigned the name WTF1 ("what's this factor?"), coimmunoprecipitates from chloroplast extract with group II ...
متن کاملA ribonuclease III domain protein functions in group II intron splicing in maize chloroplasts.
Chloroplast genomes in land plants harbor approximately 20 group II introns. Genetic approaches have identified proteins involved in the splicing of many of these introns, but the proteins identified to date cannot account for the large size of intron ribonucleoprotein complexes and are not sufficient to reconstitute splicing in vitro. Here, we describe an additional protein that promotes chlor...
متن کاملChloroplast RH3 DEAD box RNA helicases in maize and Arabidopsis function in splicing of specific group II introns and affect chloroplast ribosome biogenesis.
Chloroplasts in angiosperms contain at least seven nucleus-encoded members of the DEAD box RNA helicase family. Phylogenetic analysis shows that five of these plastid members (RH22, -39, -47, -50, and -58) form a single clade and that RH3 forms a clade with two mitochondrial RH proteins (PMH1 and -2) functioning in intron splicing. The function of chloroplast RH3 in maize (Zea mays; ZmRH3) and ...
متن کاملBacterial group II introns: not just splicing.
Group II introns are both catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) and mobile retroelements that were discovered almost 14 years ago. It has been suggested that eukaryotic mRNA introns might have originated from the group II introns present in the alphaproteobacterial progenitor of the mitochondria. Bacterial group II introns are of considerable interest not only because of their evolutionary significance, b...
