The study found that RARE1 and AtECB2 have divergent roles in RNA editing, with RARE1's DYW domain being more closely related to accD-C794 editing.
The Arabidopsis pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, required for accD RNA editing 1 (RARE1) and early chloroplast biogenesis 2 (AtECB2), each contain a DYW domain deemed essential for cytosine deamination at the accD-C794 RNA editing site in chloroplasts. Complementation assays using the rare1 mutant investigate the correlation between these PPRs and their respective DYW domain functions in RNA editing of accD-C794. The results demonstrate that the coding sequence of AtECB2 cannot replace that of RARE1. Moreover, rare1 mutants complemented with DYW-deleted RARE1 failed to recover the RNA editing of accD-C794 even in the presence of the highly similar DYW domain of the AtECB2 protein. These findings indicate that RARE1 and AtECB2 possess divergent roles in RNA editing, with specificity for accD-C794 directly attributable to DYW domain within RARE1. Structural modeling data suggest this functioning pertains to a local & alpha;-helical motif that residues slightly N-terminal to the consensus glutamate and CXXCH motif in the DYW domain for cytidine deamination during C -to-U editing by RARE1 that is absent within AtECB2.
