Abstract excerpt
In plant mitochondria, mitochondrial polynucleotide phosphorylase (mtPNPase) is a key 3'→5' exoribonuclease. Here, we describe the accumulation of mtPNPase substrates in Arabidopsis mutants, such as rps10 (deficient in the mitoribosomal protein uS10m), mtran1-2/2-2 (lacking the mitoribosomal proteins mTRAN1 and mTRAN2), and rpoTmp (deficient in plastid- and mitochondrial-targeted RNA polymerase). This...
