Primary Identifier | IPR017086 | Type | Family |
Short Name | RNA_edit_cplx_Nase-su_MP63 |
description | This entry represents structural subunit MP63 from the RNA editing complex found in Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The editing process is performed by the editosome, a multi-protein complex that catalyses the insertion and deletion of uridylates (U) that occurs during RNA editing. Uridylate insertion/deletion editing, which appears to be unique to these organisms, processes most mitochondrial pre-mRNAs to produce mature mRNAs. Editosomes consist of several components and in Trypanosoma these include: REL1/MP52 and REL2/Mp48 RNA ligases; MP18, MP42, MP63 and MP81 that contain zinc fingers []. |
