The Puf family of RNA-binding proteins in plants: phylogeny, structural modeling, activity and subcellular localization

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Puf proteins have important roles in controlling gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by promoting RNA decay and repressing translation. The Pumilio homology domain (PUM-HD) is a conserved region within Puf proteins that...
