Identification of target transcripts for the putative chloroplast RNA binding protein CRP1 in Zea mays. CRP1 was immunoprecipitated from a chloroplast extract. Chloroplast extracts were prepared from WT and CRP1-deficient tissue. RNA from the pellet and from the supernatant for each pulldown was lab...
This research identifies a novel protein required for paramutation at the maize purple plant1 locus. This 'required to maintain repression2' (RMR2) protein represents the founding member of a plant-specific clade of hypothetical proteins. We show that RMR2 is required for transcriptional repression ...
Co-immunoprecipitation of the maize pentatricopeptide protein PPR4 and extraction of bound RNA. RNA is labelled and hybridized to a maize chloroplast genome tiling array in order to identify target RNA species of PPR4.
