Abstract excerpt
The facilitators for specific cytosine-to-uridine RNA-editing events in plant mitochondria and plastids are pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR)-containing proteins with specific additional C-terminal domains. Here we report the related PPR proteins mitochondrial editing factor 8 (MEF8) and MEF8S with only five such repeats each to be both involved in RNA editing at the same two sites in mitochondria of Arabidopsis...
