Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Moss PPR-SMR protein PpPPR_64 is a pTAC2 homolog but is functionally distinct from pTAC2. PpPPR_64 is required for psaA gene expression and its function may have evolved in mosses. The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are key regulatory factors responsible for the control of plant organellar gene expression. A small subset of PPR proteins possess a C-terminal small MutS-related (SMR) domain...
