Journal ArticleDOI
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins: a socket set for organelle gene expression.
TL;DR: Several recent papers are discussed that cover the evolutionary history and molecular mode of action of Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and propose hypotheses for their physiological roles that could explain why PPR proteins are so numerous in terrestrial plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the expansion of the pentatricopeptide repeat gene family in plants
Nicholas O'Toole,Mitsuru Hattori,Charles Andrés,Charles Andrés,Kei Iida,Claire Lurin,Christian Schmitz-Linneweber,Christian Schmitz-Linneweber,Mamoru Sugita,Ian Small,Ian Small +10 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide identification and comparison of the PPR genes of 3 organisms provides compelling evidence that one or more waves of retrotransposition were responsible for the expansion of thePPR gene family in flowering plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein Facilitates the trans-Splicing of the Maize Chloroplast rps12 Pre-mRNA
Christian Schmitz-Linneweber,Rosalind Williams-Carrier,Pascale M. Williams-Voelker,Tiffany Kroeger,Athea Vichas,Alice Barkan +5 more
TL;DR: Microarray analysis of RNA that coimmunoprecipitates with ppr4 showed that PPR4 is associated in vivo with the first intron of the plastid rps12 pre-mRNA, a group II intron that is transcribed in segments and spliced in trans.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA Immunoprecipitation and Microarray Analysis Show a Chloroplast Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein to Be Associated with the 5' Region of mRNAs Whose Translation It Activates
TL;DR: Understanding of the PPR protein family is enhanced by showing that a PPR Protein influences gene expression through association with specific mRNAs in vivo, suggesting an unusual mode of RNA binding for PPR proteins, and highlighting the possibility that translational regulation may be a particularly common function of PPRprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plastid chromosome of spinach (Spinacia oleracea): complete nucleotide sequence and gene organization
Christian Schmitz-Linneweber,Rainer M. Maier,Jean-Pierre Alcaraz,Annick Cottet,Reinhold G. Herrmann,Régis Mache +5 more
TL;DR: The chloroplast chromosome of spinach is a double-stranded circular DNA molecule of 150 725 nucleotide pairs and a comparison of this chromosome with those of the three other autotrophic dicotyledons for which complete DNA sequences of plastid chromosomes are available confirms a conserved overall structure.
