Source: InterPro

Description

IPR002866 is a Maturase MatK.

<p>Group II introns are widespread in plant cell organelles [[cite:PUB00043292]]. In vivo, most plant group II introns do not self-splice, but require the assistance of proteinaceous splicing factors, known as maturases. In higher plants, maturases are encoded for in the nuclear genes [[cite:PUB00043293]], but are otherwise encoded by organellar introns.</p> <p>This entry represents maturase K, which is usually encoded in the trnK tRNA gene intron, and probably assists in splicing its own and other chloroplast group II introns.</p>
