The pentatricopeptide repeat-DYW protein AtECB2 affects plastid RNA editing at seven sites, including accD-794, accD-1568, ndhF-290, ndhG-50, petL-5, rpoA-200 and rpoC1-488. To understand the mechanism of its involvement in RNA editing, a transgenic line was constructed with AtECB2 fused to a 4xMYC tag that could complement the atecb2 phenotype. RNA immunoprecipitation analysis indicated that AtECB2 is associated with the transcripts of accD, ndhF, ndhG and petL. Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry experiments showed that multiple organelle RNA editing factor 2 (MORF2) and porphobilin...
