I'm looking for promoters for protein coding transcripts in GRanges, and I end up with lots of NA values in my protein_id metadata column. Is there a way to remove the rows corresponding to the metadata column containing NA?

> ahub <- AnnotationHub()
> query(ahub, c("GRanges","Homo sapiens","GRCh38"))
> ahub['AH28674']
> gtf <- ahub[['AH28674']]

#Create a Granges object for the promoters of all protein-coding transcripts

> gtf[,"protein_id"]
> promoters <- promoters(gtf[,"protein_id"], upstream = 1500, downstream = 500)
> promoters

Something like this:

keep <- !is.na(mcols(promoters)$protein_id)
promoters[keep,]
