Encodes PNM1 (for PPR protein localized to the nucleus and mitochondria 1), a PPR protein that is dual localized to mitochondria and nuclei. Loss of PNM1 function in mitochondria, but not in nuclei, is lethal for the embryo. In mitochondria, it is associated with polysomes and may play a role in translation.
