A microeukaryotic PPR-DYW protein supports multisite C- and A-deamination RNA editing

RNA editing in mitochondria is vital for many eukaryotes. In plants, mitochondrial C-to-U deamination editing is catalyzed by tens to hundreds of PPR-DYW proteins, each typically dedicated to a specific site. Where retained, PPR-DYW family expanded independently in all eukaryotic groups examined here—except in marine m...
