Loss of matKRNA editing in seed plant chloroplasts (2009)

Tillich, Michael, Le Sy, Vinh, Schulerowitz, Katrin, Von Haeseler, Arndt, Maier, Uwe G, Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian

Abstract Background RNA editing in chloroplasts of angiosperms proceeds by C-to-U conversions at specific sites. Nuclear-encoded factors are required for the recognition of cis -elements located...

Complex chloroplast RNA metabolism: just debugging the genetic programme? (2008)

Maier, Uwe G, Bozarth, Andrew, Funk, Helena T, Zauner, Stefan, Rensing, Stefan A, Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian, ...

Abstract Background The gene expression system of chloroplasts is far more complex than that of their cyanobacterial progenitor. This gain in complexity affects in particular RNA metabolism,...

The Evolution of Chloroplast RNA Editing (2006)

Tillich, Michael, Lehwark, Pascal, Morton, Brian R., Maier, Uwe G.

RNA editing alters the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule so that it deviates from the sequence of its DNA template. Different RNA-editing systems are found in the major eukaryotic lineages, and...

Heterologous, splicing-dependent RNA editing in chloroplasts: allotetraploidy provides trans-factors

Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian, Tillich, Michael, Herrmann, Reinhold G., Maier, Rainer M.

RNA editing is unique among post-transcriptional processes in plastids, as it exhibits extraordinary phylogenetic dynamics leading to species-specific editing site patterns. The evolutionary loss of...

Maintenance of plastid RNA editing activities independently of their target sites

Tillich, Michael, Poltnigg, Peter, Kushnir, Sergei, Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian

RNA editing in plant organelles is mediated by site-specific, nuclear-encoded factors. Previous data suggested that the maintenance of these factors depends on the presence of their rapidly evolving...

Chloroplast ribonucleoprotein CP31A is required for editing and stability of specific chloroplast mRNAs

Tillich, Michael, Hardel, Simone L., Kupsch, Christiane, Armbruster, Ute, Delannoy, Etienne, Gualberto, José M., ...

Chloroplast ribonucleoproteins (cpRNPs) are nuclear-encoded, highly abundant, and light-regulated RNA binding proteins. They have been shown to be involved in chloroplast RNA processing and...
