Unraveling the role of the enigmatic MatK maturase in chloroplast group IIA intron excision

Abstract Maturases are prokaryotic enzymes that aid self‐excision of introns in precursor RNAs and have evolutionary ties to the nuclear spliceosome. Both the mitochondria and chloroplast, due to their prokaryotic origin, encode a single intron maturase, MatR for the mitochondria and MatK for the ch...
