Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast gene expression involves the participation of hundreds of pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) RNA binding proteins, and proteins in the PLS subfamily typically specify sites of RNA editing, whereas those in the P-subfamily typically stabilize RNA, activate translation, or promote intron splicing. Several P-type PPR proteins include a small MutS-related (SMR) domain, but the biochemical contribution of the...
