Summary
| Editing Factor: | MORF4 |
| Synonym: | MULTIPLE ORGANELLAR RNA EDITING FACTOR 4 |
| Description: | Two MORF proteins are required for editing in plastids; at least two are essential for editing in mitochondria; The loss of a MORF protein abolishes or lowers editing at multiple sites, many of which are addressed individually by PPR proteins; In plastids, both MORF proteins are required for complete editing at almost all sites, suggesting a heterodimeric complex; In yeast two-hybrid and pull-down assays, MORF proteins can connect to form hetero- and homodimers; MORF proteins interact selectively with PPR proteins, establishing a more complex editosome in plant organelles than previously thought |
