Abstract excerpt
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are helical repeat RNA-binding proteins that function in RNA processing by conferring sequence-specific RNA-binding activity. Owing to the lethality of PPR mutants, functions of many PPR proteins remain obscure. In this study, we report the function of PPR20 in intron splicing in mitochondria and its role in maize seed development. PPR20 is a P-type PPR protein targeted to...
