Claim 2mechanismsupports2026Source 1DOIPubMed

PPR proteins participate in RNA editing, intron splicing, RNA stabilization, cleavage, and translation in plant organelles.

Quoted textsource-backed
PPR proteins are predominantly localized in mitochondria and/or chloroplasts, and participate in various post-transcriptional processes, including RNA editing (C-to-U conversion), intron splicing, RNA stabilization, cleavage, and translation.
