在植物线粒体和叶绿体转录本上,数百个胞嘧啶(C)位点经脱氨基反应变为尿嘧啶(U),这是一种在转录本水平上对遗传信息进行修饰或调控的机制.在植物细胞器中,RNA编辑过程需要不同家族的RNA编辑因子相互作用组装成复杂的编辑复合体,特异地识别编辑位点进行编辑.最初的研究发现,植物RNA编辑受到高特异性五环肽重复(pentatricopeptide repeat, PPR)蛋白的调控,目前在植物中发现400多种PPR家族蛋白,编辑作用复杂.之后对RNA编辑因子互作蛋白/多细胞器RNA编辑因子(RNA editing factor interacting proteins /multiple organellar RNA editing factors,RIP/MORF),细胞器RNA识别基序(organelle RNA recognition motif,ORRM),细胞器锌指蛋白(organelle zinc-finger,OZ)等的研究表明,这些非PPR蛋白组分可以与PPR蛋白形成编辑复合体,共同参与编辑,且RNA编辑复合体具有多样性.RNA编辑因子的缺失会引起植物的生长发育受阻,果实成熟延迟等,对RNA编辑因子的研究显得尤为重要.对植物中RNA编辑因子的功能及其作用机制研究进展进行综述,旨在为后续RNA编辑的研究提供一定的参考. 相似文献

35肽重复(pentatricopeptide repeat, PPR)蛋白是2000年发现的一类由多个重复单位串联而成的核编码蛋白质。PPR蛋白广泛存在于真核生物中,在陆生植物中尤为普遍。PPR蛋白大多定位于线粒体或叶绿体。多项研究表明,PPR蛋 白为序列特异性RNA结合蛋白质,在细胞器RNA编辑、剪接、稳定、切割及翻译等转录后加工过程发挥重要作用。PPR蛋白功能缺陷导致植物生长发育异常,甚至胚胎致死。本文主要就PPR蛋白功能及作用机制进行综述,并对尚待解决的问题及研究前景加以探讨,以期为PPR蛋白的深入研究提供思路。 相似文献

植物生长发育是一个极其复杂的生理生化过程,受内外因素共同作用。PPR蛋白是核基因编码的具有重复PPR基序的蛋白,分布广泛,在高等植物中数量巨大。PPR蛋白的靶标一般是线粒体和叶绿体中转录的RNA前体,多数可与MORF互作,参与线粒体和叶绿体基因的RNA编辑。PPR蛋白缺失的突变体植株多数呈现异常表型,影响植物的正常生长发育。本文就近年来发现的PPR蛋白结构、分布,与RNA编辑的关系,及其对植物生长发育的影响进行了综述。 相似文献

Higher plants encode hundreds of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins (PPRs) that are involved in several types of RNA processing reactions. Most PPR genes are predicted to be targeted to chloroplasts or mitochondria, and many are known to affect organellar gene expression. In some cases, RNA binding has been directly demonstrated, and the sequences of the cis-elements are known. In this work, we demonstrate that RNA cis-elements recognized by PPRs are constrained in chloroplast genome evolution. Cis-elements for two PPR genes and several RNA editing sites were analyzed for sequence changes by pairwise nucleotide substitution frequency, pairwise indel frequency, and maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic distances. All three of these analyses demonstrated that sequences within the cis-element are highly conserved compared with surrounding sequences. In addition, we have compared sequences around chloroplast editing sites and homologous sequences in species that lack an editing site due to the presence of a genomic T. Cis-elements for RNA editing sites are highly conserved in angiosperms; by contrast, comparable sequences around a genomically encoded T exhibit higher rates of nucleotide substitution, higher frequencies of indels, and greater ML distances. The loss in requirement for editing to create the ndhD start codon has resulted in the conversion of the PPR gene responsible for editing that site to a pseudogene. We show that organellar dependence on nuclear-encoded PPR proteins for gene expression has constrained the evolution of cis-elements that are required at the level of RNA processing. Thus, the expansion of the PPR gene family in plants has had a dramatic effect on the evolution of plant organelle genomes. 相似文献

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein family, which is particularly prevalent in plants, includes many sequence‐specific RNA‐binding proteins involved in all aspects of organelle RNA metabolism, including RNA stability, processing, editing and translation. PPR proteins consist of a tandem array of 2‐30 PPR motifs, each of which aligns to one nucleotide in the RNA target. The amino acid side chains at two or three specific positions in each motif confer nucleotide specificity in a predictable and programmable manner. Thus, PPR proteins appear to provide an extremely promising opportunity to create custom RNA‐binding proteins with tailored specificity. We summarize recent progress in understanding RNA recognition by PPR proteins, with a particular focus on potential applications of PPR‐based tools for manipulating RNA, and on the challenges that remain to be overcome before these tools may be routinely used by the scientific community. 相似文献

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins with an E domain have been identified as specific factors for C to U RNA editing in plant organelles. These PPR proteins bind to a unique sequence motif 5′ of their target editing sites. Recently, involvement of a combinatorial amino acid code in the P (normal length) and S type (short) PPR domains in sequence specific RNA binding was reported. PPR proteins involved in RNA editing, however, contain not only P and S motifs but also their long variants L (long) and L2 (long2) and the S2 (short2) motifs. We now find that inclusion of these motifs improves the prediction of RNA editing target sites. Previously overlooked RNA editing target sites are suggested from the PPR motif structures of known E-class PPR proteins and are experimentally verified. RNA editing target sites are assigned for the novel PPR protein MEF32 (mitochondrial editing factor 32) and are confirmed in the cDNA. 相似文献

RNA editing factors of the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family show a very high degree of sequence specificity in the recognition of their target sites. A molecular basis for target recognition by editing factors has been proposed based on statistical correlations but has not been tested experimentally. To achieve this, we systematically mutated the pentatricopeptide motifs in the Arabidopsis thaliana RNA editing factor CLB19 to investigate their individual contribution to RNA recognition. We find that the motifs contributing significantly to the specificity of binding follow the previously proposed recognition rules, distinguishing primarily between purines and pyrimidines. Our results are consistent with proposals that each motif recognizes one nucleotide in the RNA target with the protein aligned parallel to the RNA and contiguous motifs aligned with contiguous nucleotides such that the final PPR motif aligns four nucleotides upstream of the edited cytidine. By altering S motifs in CLB19 and another editing factor, OTP82, and using the modified proteins to attempt to complement the respective mutants, we demonstrate that we can predictably alter the specificity of these factors in vivo. 相似文献
