Pentatricopeptide 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...
متن کاملChloroplast 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 کاملPentatricopeptide repeat proteins: a socket set for organelle gene expression.
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are RNA-binding proteins that are particularly prevalent in terrestrial plants. Although the PPR protein family was only recognized eight years ago, it is already clear that these proteins have a range of essential functions in post-transcriptional processes (including RNA editing, RNA splicing, RNA cleavage and translation) within mitochondria and chloro...
متن کاملPentatricopeptide repeat proteins constrain genome evolution in chloroplasts.
Higher plants encode hundreds of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins (PPRs) that are involved in several types of RNA processing reactions. Most PPR genes are predicted to be targeted to chloroplasts or mitochondria, and many are known to affect organellar gene expression. In some cases, RNA binding has been directly demonstrated, and the sequences of the cis-elements are known. In this work, we ...
