Chloroplast RNA editing by pentatricopeptide repeat proteins.
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins function in multiple processes in mRNA maturation in plastids and mitochondria (reviewed in Schmitz-Linneweber and Small, 2008). RNA maturation in chloroplasts is complex, and PPR proteins act in cisand trans-splicing, translation, RNA cleavage, RNA stabilization, and RNA editing. This large protein family, with 450 members in Arabidopsis, is characterize...
متن کاملChloroplast RNA-binding and pentatricopeptide repeat proteins.
Chloroplast gene expression is mainly regulated at the post-transcriptional level by numerous nuclear-encoded RNA-binding protein factors. In the present study, we focus on two RNA-binding proteins: cpRNP (chloroplast ribonucleoprotein) and PPR (pentatricopeptide repeat) protein. These are suggested to be major contributors to chloroplast RNA metabolism. Tobacco cpRNPs are composed of five diff...
متن کاملConserved domain structure of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins involved in chloroplast RNA editing.
The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins form one of the largest families in higher plants and are believed to be involved in the posttranscriptional processes of gene expression in plant organelles. It has been shown by using a genetic approach focusing on NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH) activity that a PPR protein CRR4 is essential for a specific RNA editing event in chloroplasts. Here, we dis...
متن کاملPentatricopeptide repeat proteins involved in plant organellar RNA editing
C-to-U RNA editing has been widely observed in organellar RNAs in terrestrial plants. Recent research has revealed the significance of a large, plant-specific family of pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins for RNA editing and other RNA processing events in plant mitochondria and chloroplasts. PPR protein is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that identifies specific C residues for editi...
متن کاملPentatricopeptide repeat proteins
Mitochondria and chloroplasts host genomes inherited from their bacterial ancestors. Their biogenesis thus requires fully functional gene expression machineries. RNA metabolism in organ-elles is particular and has attracted considerable attention since it combines prokaryotic features with unique traits that evolved in their eukaryotic host cell. For a long time, most of the molecular factors g...
