Abstract excerpt
In plant organelles, RNA editing is a post-transcriptional mechanism that converts specific cytidines to uridines in RNA of both mitochondria and plastids, altering the information encoded by the gene. The cytidine to be edited is determined by a cis-element surrounding the editing site that is specifically recognized and bound by a trans-acting factor. All the trans-acting editing factors identified so far in...
