Abstract excerpt
RNA editing sites in plant mitochondria and plastids are addressed by pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins with E or E and DYW domains, which recognize a specific nucleotide motif upstream of the edited nucleotide. In addition, some sites require MORF proteins for efficient RNA editing. Here, we assign the novel E domain-containing PPR protein, MEF13, as being required for editing at eight sites in Arabidopsis...
