Analysis of the Roles of the Arabidopsis nMAT2 and PMH2 Proteins Provided with New Insights into the Regulation of Group II Intron Splicing in Land-Plant Mitochondria. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2017 Plant mitochondria are remarkable with respect to the presence of numerous group II introns which reside in many essential genes. The removal of the organellar introns from the coding genes they interrupt is essential for respiratory functions, and is ...

Organellar Introns in Fungi, Algae, and Plants
Cells, 2021 Introns are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and have long been considered as ‘junk RNA’ but the huge energy expenditure in their transcription, removal, and degradation indicate that they may have functional significance and can offer evolutionary ...

Evolution of group II introns [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2015 Present in the genomes of bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, group II introns are an ancient class of ribozymes and retroelements that are believed to have been the ancestors of nuclear pre-mRNA introns. Despite long-standing speculation, there is limited understanding about the actual pathway by which group II introns evolved into eukaryotic introns.

Group II intron-based gene targeting reactions in eukaryotes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Mobile group II introns insert site-specifically into DNA target sites by a mechanism termed retrohoming in which the excised intron RNA reverse splices into a DNA strand and is reverse transcribed by the intron-encoded protein.
