Plant organellar RNA metabolism is run by a multitude of nucleus-encoded RNA-binding
proteins (RBPs) that control RNA stability, processing, and degradation. In chloroplasts and …

The chloroplast genome encodes proteins required for photosynthesis, gene expression,
and other essential organellar functions. Derived from a cyanobacterial ancestor, the …

The mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (Complex I) is a large protein
complex formed from both nuclearly and mitochondrially encoded subunits. Subunit ND1 is …

Group II-type introns in the mitochondrial genes of flowering plants belong to the ribozymic,
mobile retroelement family, but not all exhibit conventional structural features and some …

Plant organelles arose from two independent endosymbiosis events. Throughout
evolutionary history, tight control of chloroplasts and mitochondria has been gained by the …

The Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast contains 20 group‐II introns in its genome, and seven
known splicing factors are required for the splicing of overlap** subsets of 19 of them. We …

The Arabidopsis thaliana yellow variegated2 (var2) mutant is variegated due to lack of a
chloroplast FtsH-like metalloprotease (FtsH2/VAR2). We have generated suppressors of …

Mitochondrial group II introns require the participation of numerous nucleus-encoded
general and specific factors to achieve efficient splicing in vivo. Pentatricopeptide repeat …

The coding regions of many mitochondrial genes in plants are interrupted by intervening
sequences that are classified as group II introns. Their splicing is essential for the …

Chloroplast genomes in plants and green algae contain numerous group II introns, large
ribozymes that splice via the same chemical steps as spliceosome-mediated splicing in the …
