Abstract
- C to U editing is one of the post-transcriptional steps which are required for the proper expression of chloroplast and mitochondrial genes in plants. It depends on several proteins acting together which include the PLS-class pentatricopeptide repeat proteins (PPR). DYW2 was recently shown to be required for the editing of many sites in both organelles. In particular almost all the sites associated with the E+ subfamily of PPR proteins are depending on DYW2, suggesting that DYW2 is required for the function of E+-type PPR proteins. Here we strengthened this link by identifying 16 major editing sites controlled by 3 PPR proteins: OTP90, a DYW-type PPR and PGN and MEF37, 2 E+-type PPR proteins. A re-analysis of the DYW2 editotype showed that the 49 sites known to be associated with the 18 characterized E+-type PPR proteins all depend on DYW2. Considering only the 288 DYW2-dependent editing sites as potential E+-type PPR sites, instead of the 795 known editing sites, improves the performances of binding predictions systems based on the PPR code for E+-type PPR proteins. However, it does not compensate for poor binding predictions.
