Funded Activity Summary

A portable RNA-editing machine. Many plants maintain an elaborate RNA-editing machine that allows them to correct accumulated errors in their organellar genomes by specifically editing the RNA transcripts of the affected genes. A portable and adaptable version of this molecular machine would have significant biotechnological value, providing the ability to correct genetic errors, and to intervene in gene regulation without permanently altering a genome. The project aims to combine molecular and structural biology approaches to fully characterise the components of the machine, thus allowing us to reconstitute it in cell-free systems and ultimately in other organisms.
