The paper shows that TgmRHel processes coxI mRNA precursors generated from a recombining mitochondrial genome into a mature transcript, essential for parasite survival.

The paper identifies mRSiC, an HPR protein in Toxoplasma gondii, as essential for stabilizing mitochondrial sRNAs and maintaining rRNA fragments, respiratory chain function, and parasite proliferation.

This study identifies GUN1's molecular function as RNA binding and maturation by analyzing plastid transcriptomes and validating targets through RNA immunoprecipitation.

This study identifies small RNAs from mitochondrial recombination sites in T. gondii that are integrated into mitoribosomes, suggesting a dual role for mitochondrial sequences as both mRNA and rRNA.

The paper shows CP33B preferentially binds psbA mRNA over other chloroplast RNAs, indicating additional factors beyond the identified sequence motif contribute to its specificity.
