Abstract excerpt
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins with C-terminal DYW domains are present in organisms that undergo C-to-U editing of organelle RNA transcripts. PPR domains act as specificity factors through electrostatic interactions between a pair of polar residues and the nitrogenous bases of an RNA target. DYW-deaminase domains act as the editing enzyme. Two moss (Physcomitrella patens) PPR proteins containing...
