Abstract excerpt
RNA editing produces mature mitochondrial mRNAs in trypanosomatids by the insertion and deletion of uridylates. It is catalyzed by a multiprotein complex, the editosome. We identified TbMP44 among the components of enriched editosomes by a combination of mass spectrometry and DNA sequence database analysis. Inactivation of an ectopic TbMP44 allele in cells in which the endogenous alleles were disrupted abolished...
