Abstract:Pentatricopeptide (PPR) proteins bind RNA and are present in mitochondria and chloroplasts of Eukaryota. In fungi they are responsible for controlling mitochondrial genome expression, mainly on the posttranscriptional level. Candida albicans is a human opportunistic pathogen with a facultative anaerobic metabolism which, unlike the model yeast S. cerevisiae, possesses mitochondrially encoded respiratory Complex I (CI) subunits and does not tolerate loss of mtDNA. We characterized the function of 4 PPR proteins… Show more
