| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In plant mitochondria and plastids, C-to-U RNA editing frequently occurs in many transcripts. However, the molecular mechanism of RNA editing remains to be elucidated. In this study, three novel RNA editing factors were identified in the moss Physcomitrella patens. In addition, a C-terminal 39 amino acid region of identified RNA editing factors was clarified to be required for editing site-specific recognition.
