Abstract Plants possess a unique C-to-U RNA editing mechanism mediated by PPR-DYW proteins, wherein the PPR domain recognizes specific RNA sequences while the DYW deaminase domain precisely edits the target C base—a process essential for functional protein expression in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria. The coordination of these two domains is considered crucial for precise RNA editing.
