abstract：:RNA editing in the mitochondria of kinetoplastids involves the addition and deletion of uridines at specific sites as directed by guide RNAs (gRNAs). Ample evidence shows that ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes carry out this posttranscriptional processing. One component of RNA editing complexes is REAP-1, a protein of...
