Elucidation of the RNA recognition code for pentatricopeptide repeat proteins involved in organelle RNA editing in plants.

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are eukaryotic RNA-binding proteins that are commonly found in plants. Organelle transcript processing and stability are mediated by PPR proteins in a gene-specific manner through recognition by tandem arrays of degenerate 35-amino-acid repeating units, the PP...
